    Amongst all the V1agra spam I get I received one on a private email address today "From: Laptop Reviews" titled "New Dell XPS Laptop" allegedly from "SurveysCost.com 14781 Memorial Dr. Suite # 1494 Houston, TX 77079". However, in the body they mistyped the model number in one place "5130".

    I noticed a few spam from this outfit recently so I suppose/hope I wasn't particularly targeted because of my interests - though I have always feared the day the spammers get smart enough to start faking emails from frequent flyer schemes and other groups whose email I tend to legitimately receive.

    Needless to say, if your mail client is setup to load the images in the spam it will confirm that you read it.

    What are you trying to say? Don't read spam messages?
