Since when do I suddenly receive actual SPAM through my Yahoo! account?
Before this year, the only spam type stuff I received was from companies that I'd done business with and had given my email address to in order for them to contact me about my order. At least those ones, I'd requested their contact. That I receive spam from them? Meh. At least, with Jo-ann fabrics, I get coupons along with the ad-spam.
Now suddenly, I'm getting things like [my email addy] Hey!; [mema] job positions!; [mema] Look!! and they're getting through Yahoo!'s filter, skipping my spam folder, and going right to my regular in-box. Considering that one of the reasons I got the Yahoo! account in the first place was that they promised no spam unless you'd signed up for it from X company, I find this to be very annoying.
I'm also wondering if it's because they have my email addy right there in the title. Then again, that thought makes me wonder if some weirdo's targeting me specifically, or if they're using some weird program to automatically attach people's email addresses into the description line of the email.
Regardless, I find this very annoying. Maybe I should see if something in the policy changed. :/
