Yeah I noticed that too.
Not only have I been getting more scam emails in my mailbox lately, I've also been receiving more spam mails.
Hope nobody got careless and clicked on a wrong link.

Spam have usually been on an increase. At least the large amount of spam emails would allow for more people to be able to identify what is real and what is fraud.

I believe so, I have dosens of emails from people and/or companies who I dont know, just never open them, and click Delete.

Default Thankful for those trash and junk boxes and filters.

Thankfully most of mine get filtered into the trash and junk boxes because of my email filters. I glance at the from and subject headers to see if it is something I really want to keep.

What annoys me most is to get them on email lists, such as from yahoogroups or similar, or multiple copies of the same message, whether or not they are from different "people."

Be careful in doling out your ids in public domain. Also there is a cyclic motion of receiving junk mails. After a while they would just stop coming
