depends on the account name-- I have a couple accounts, and 2 of them get the SAME TYPE OF SPAM-- has been that way for a year or so now, since they were created. And I never really ever used those accounts. I think they generate "names" to spam, which is why some of my accounts don't get spam since they have a strange character in them, aren't names, etc. (i.e. they don't follow a certain format)
Also, I am unclear as to why Comcast has not done anything to counter this spam attack. |

Start a new email adress and never order anything or join any groups with it. Just use it for friends or business. Call the old account a secondary and use that to buy and join.
Symantic antispam software is a possibility. It's not really all comcast's fault. As an experiment start a third (hey they're free) comcast email and NEVER use it and see how much spam you get............ ARDog |

+1000000000000000000 I have complained and eventually stopped complaining and stopped clicking the report as spam....it is ridiculous, and I will probably drop comcast soon - and this is one of the main reasons for doing so... |

I had comcast for 4 months and the amount of spam was amazing.
Don't forget the spam that doesn't have any information, just a litle envelope indicating that you have mail. Who the hell would open that up? I've since moved on to Graceba. |

i have a gmail addy, it is almost spam proof. the funny part is the part before the @gmail.com part is they same as my old aol and comcast accounts which got spammed all of the time. now i get 4 or 5 month, and gmail has a free spam blocker that works pretty well, one one or 2 gets thru a month.
one of the best ways to stop spam is ad blockers and internet security of some kind, that way they cant get you email from you own account if you want a gmail account im me your email addy and i will send you an invite |
