Just got my very first piece of spam on my home email addy!
From someone labelled Elecor8.

Who here at PF1 had that too?

Gmails spam filters are unbelievable. Haven't had spam in years now.

Hm!!
I see I have deleted about 14 spam messages this last fortnight which works out at one a day. Each is from a different address which I always block straight away, and all offer to increase the size of a certain part of my anatomy.
Pretty pointless exercise and anyway I reckon not only are they spam but also a scam.
They are a nuisance. And no I do not habitually go onto porn
sites so I don't know how they got my email address - which I admit I don't keep a closely guarded secret.

Doesn't mean they aren't being sent to you though. I don't see my Gmail spams either, but when I looked in my spam folder just now, the number of spams has gone up from about 900 per month a few months ago, to over 2000 now!

I get almost no spam, however Dad has been hit by several phishing emails (he deletes them immediately) for the past few days.

B*****rrrrrr. Just got one in my PM box from one called "Jeanette" regarding Buddhism. I also get the odd one from mainly American sites but MailWasher looks after that for me.

No No Greg, I don't get spam in that folder either. Maybe like one a month but thats about it.
