Hmmm, is it just me, or have others noticed the almost total lack of SPAM mail from hotties showing me their provocative pics, and wanting to meet me? The virus and "social distancing" edicts really aren't helping the dating scene right now. All this free time now, and nothing to peruse. I hope they are all okay. |

I'm sure you could find them if you look. |

Good riddance to them, is my thought! |

I hadn't even noticed. I am getting old. And since I'm pretty sure I stopped receiving them before the Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse did their latest ride, probably the Computer also knows I'm getting old. |

Save for not being able to go to the Gym and now rarely seeing my Girlfriend face to face. I'm having a good time painting my toys ! By staying home most of the time … I'm saving a lot of $$$$ ! |

On the positive side, Pornhub followed Osprey's lead and made a lot of content free, so there's that. I'm married (for a very long time) and consider myself very lucky that my wife and I really enjoy each other's company, and live in a big enough place. I predict a spate of divorces and pregnancies coming out of this. |

The spam I've been getting is more in line of every tech vendor in the world telling me how they can help. |

It seems even the computer generated phishing calls have stopped. I used to get several per day, now nada. |

Speaking of spam, my wife made stir-fried ramen, kimchi, and spam for lunch today. Tasty! |

I'm not getting much spam mail either. Also my crap snail mail has decreased also, still get a lot of charities asking for money. Still get the phone calls but they go to my land line with answering machine & we don't answer that line. |

Spam overall is up right now. Scams also spiked, but not as much as expected. The content of your spam may have changed, so you may not be associating it with the old spam as a trend. Scams have likewise shifted and have the same cognitive break in continuity. Most of those have shifted toward online collaboration capabilities and COVID-19 snake oil. From the sacammers' perspective, they don't really care what is being promised since they aren't going to deliver. The interesting bit about the spike not being as large as predicted is that some criminal activity has parts of the critical path done in persion so that the scammers aren't being scammed. It's not all types and all processes, but enough to change the expected spike. |
