Prescription Med spam? Why so much lately

Figured I'd ask you guys, since like me, many of you spend lots of time on the internet. I have 2 main BB email addresses that I use, and I try to keep them spam free so I'm not reaching into my pocket all day for nothing. Well, so much for that. Past few weeks I'm getting about 5-10 emails a day for online prescription meds on BOTH addresses. WTF!

I never enter these names in to any site, I can't imagine where this crap is coming from. This is on gmail BTW

Anyone else getting hit constantly all of the sudden? This is getting annoying as hell. Might just change my addys or set up a filter.

Most of the prescription med spam has been found to be generated by the Storm botnet. This is known to be controlled by Russian criminals. Despite what they claim, none of the medications come from Canadian pharmacies. Most of the drugs supplied have little or no active ingredients. It's pretty ugly.

well at least it's not just me. I generally don't type my email in to most websites. Use a seperate address for that. THAT one is full to the brim with spam.

I applied to following filter to my gmail accounts today, after waking up with 8 messages on my BB:

tramadol OR cialis OR pharmacy OR erectile OR rx OR viagra OR flomax OR caverta

the test seemed to have pulled all, if not most of them. If anyone can think of anything else to add let us know. I already see i forgot "prescription" DUH"OH

They must know I am pretty healthy, but how do they know I have a small penis?

They are pretty accurate. Apparently I need bigger boobs and they have the pills (boob enlarging PILLS???) that can help me :lol:

I've been thinking of aiming a camera towards my toes just before hopping into bed with the wife and taking a happy snap.

Then I can send them the pic with a short note "I don't need fuking Viagra!"
