My spam filter catches about 95% of them and I get about 1-3 spams maybe a week. This is only with my sbcglobal emails. Now with my hotmail and such mails they still get spams but I have all email go to spam folder that is not in my email address. I then go look through it. My ebay and personal email is all sbc and I get almost no spam. When I check the spam folder about once a week just out of curiosity I have found no mails that should not be spam and I find about 10 plus phishing emails all in the spam folder. I don't check it as much now as I use to but it has been very effective. Only a couple of times have I found anything in there that was not spam but they were not improtant either. I so far in past 3 years have not found any ligitimate ebay or PP emails in the spam...
In a week I have as many as 4-500 spams about 125 a day or there abouts..

Interesting article...
However, as someone that does not accept Paypal (nor wants to), I personally think that Paypal is a SPAMMER themselves...
I do not have a Paypal account, I do not want to use their services or deal with their company, yet... every time some one tries to send me a Paypal payment manually, I get an email message from Paypal telling me to sign up to get money from a service I don't want to use. Why isn't that considered SPAM? I never requested to receive those messages. Nor do I have any way of opting out of receiving those messages. What Paypal SHOULD do is just not allow those transactions to go through, and inform the sender that the other person does not have a Paypal account. Instead, they have chosen to incorporate a type of SPAM in their every day business practices. Not exactly 100% ethical...
Sorry... just think that it's somewhat ironic
(p.s. I know that the emphisis of the article was on Phising... but since they brought up SPAM...)
