In the last couple of days I keep receiving a great number of spam in G-Mail. Don't get me wrong, Google filters it great, but I get some 20+ spam mails daily. It kinda coincided with the leaked passwords on LinkedIn. I changed mine on Friday... Any thoughts, similar activity...?

The reverse for me, I haven't gotten any spam in the last few days to my gmail account. That's a bit of a surprise.

OMG! You actually use a Hotmail address? You should at least be using the @teoti email addresses Mark had setup instead of hotmail

Yeah, I am getting an influx as well, 15-20 a day and I don't give that e-mail out. Glad the spam filters are catching it though.

I'm even starting to get spam text messages on my cellphone. Make them stop!

20+?  I've been getting 200+ a day lately, and that was before the LinkedIn thingy.  One of my forwarding accounts has been getting slammed.

I knew about the t-six addresses, which no longer work.  Didn't know we had teoti addresses.

I get a mess some days and then it is down again. Yes several times in the last few weeks I have had 20 or more.
