    Anyone else noticing a large increase in scammer spam emails?

    I'm getting like 3 times more of them every day now in the range of $5-10 Million dollars :D

    I used to do that, but somehow the spammers got my main email addresses to their database too :(

    Yup yahoo sux at keeping out spam. Have had very few spam emails on my gmail accounts - the only ones were the cheap v1agra ones, but they were promptly sent packing to the spam folder by gmail :D
