Speaking of spam....

It looks like my McAfee subscription has been renewed about a dozen times now! So is that good for twelve years, or am I 12x protected?

Ignoring the fact that I do not and never would use that product.

(I just deleted two "invoices" from my spam folder. Why they think the sender having my name would make me think they are authentic is completely beyond my ken.)

Norton and PayPal generally use my first name in notices- it seems more credible than those blanket spam mails.

I don’t use McAfee. It was on my new pc and I let it run out.

Some spam is just laughable in how little they even try. :o :o :o

Of course it's laughable too how gmail sends most of it to my spam folder, but they allows some very obviously stuff to go to my inbox. UGH.................

Goodness, that's a lot of protection "purchased" all at once. Seems like there must be a real need to prop up that company.

But they don't use your name as the sender!

Yeah, spam filtering is a very delicate art.  Yahoo does a pretty good job, but some still slips through.

Well, ever since he capped himself, they're probably adrift and in need of the cash.

Ah, “ Why they think the sender having my name ” was meant as it was ‘sent’ by you, the sender’s name being your name, and not sent to ‘your name’ then?

[thewayne]

Yep.
