Morning All,

I have woken up this morning to an insane amount of spam to my e-mail inbox. I usually don't get all the normal rubbish but that seems to have changed.

Thinking back to yesterday the only place I put my e-mail was when I changed it on Seagulls Direct - had anyone else had a similar influx of spam after signing up/changing e-mail on there or is this just an unhappy coincidence?

Many thanks, PRS

Interestingly my hotmail account was flooded with spam this morning. I assumed I'd accidently changed a setting.

But I haven't made any changes to my seagulls account.

Interesting - may be a Hotmail thing then. Maybe they have fiddled with the junk settings

Yes, couldn't BELIEVE the amount of VIAGRA adverts or PENIS enlargement adverts I got. As IF I would NEED either

Would appear that it wasn't the club shop fault, I apologise for doubting the club!

I have my own web site and email address. This means I can put anything in front of the address for email. For NSC my email is nsc@mywebsite.co.uk and my bank is lloyds@mywebsite.co.uk
So if I start getting spam I can trace it back with the email address. So if today I get 100 emails addressed to nsc@mywebsite.co.uk I know Bozza has sold my details on. But I can then block that address.

Could it be related to the browser used? I browse with Safari, have a hotmail address and no spam.
