    It's strange, after hardly ever having any spam get through, about 8-10 pieces of spam have hit my inbox in the past 2 days. I'm guessing there may be some sort of loophole that spammers found they could get around for now, just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue.

    most definitely. Lately I've been getting 1-2 email of random spam a day in my inbox. so annoying. and every single one has a link to some googledoc file or some crap..maybe this is the loophole?

    No spam, just these nice guys who are gonna give me a few million bucks once this wire goes through. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

    nope.

    not unless you count crap from Dell, Overstock, Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, and DeepDiscount spam.


    Nothing from Nigeria though.

    Nothing telling me I have a small penis, and I can't get it up.

    I have, but it was sent to my college e-mail which I have forwarded to my gmail account. It made it through both filters. I've gotten about 6-10 pieces of it and it's pretty much all in the same format but the links they want you to click on are different. I haven't gotten them the past 3 or 4 days though.

    Yes, I've been getting 2-3 pieces of spam in the past 3 weeks after having received barely any since the time I signed up with Gmail. I blame Chinese hackers.

    Same here, but it's only been a couple of pieces. Definitely strange, since that stuff generally never comes through my Gmail.
