1/19/2009 | Lafroste

Posted on 01/19/2009 10:10:56 AM PST by lafroste

I just checked a long ignored yahoo email account of mine (not used in at least 6 months) and discovered hundreds of emails, the titles of which follow the same general format:

[FreeRepublic] Pictures of young and Sexy College girls

With all manner of descriptives after the [FreeRepublic] part. What gives? How is this happening? Any ideas?

Consider yourself lucky, you could have had equally as many photos of Helen Thomas and Hillary.

I run my browser with the ‘cookies’ setting to prompt. I know it can be a pain but you would not believe how many ‘cookies’ are attached to posted articles on this site.

That’s why I unsubscribed from the Yahoo ‘freerepublic2’ group.

Too much spam, actually I figured there was a madness behind it, I just don’t want to play.

Leftist idiots trying to associate FR with smut so more smut shows up when you websearch FR.

Hard as it might be to believe, there are people who send bots around cyberspace for the purpose of harvesting email addresses. I am no expert but sounds to me like one of them picked up your email address from a FR user group and is using it to spam you, hoping to make you think the spam is legitimate FR mail.

It sounds like you signed up for a Yahoo group called “Freerepublic” which was taken over by spammers.

There is a Yahoo groups backup called “Freerepublic2” that is a good source of info when FR is down.

“Hey waiter, there’s a fly in my soup.”

A couple of possibilities come to mind: 1) You made someone that had your e-mail unhappy so they entered your addy on one of those porn sites where you enter your name and email addy. 2) Someone nefarious used FreeRepublic as the name and used (FRusername)@yahoo.com(not a good idea BTW) for the addy and got lucky.

If you can view the full header you can prolly see what site it came from and block it.
