Increase in Spam

Increase in Spam

If anyone is wondering why there is an increase in Make Money spams
right now it is due to the Anti-Spammers calling a Moratorium on
their Spam cancelling and filtering activities which they have
switched off for an indefinite period in an attempt to persuade all
ISPs and Net Access Providers to install measures at their own
individual Access Sites instead of leaving it to a few Anti-
Spammers.

Net users who are experiencing a big increase in spam in their
newsfeeds are being encouraged to complain to their own ISP and
request that they take measures to reduce all forms of Spam.

If your own Access Provider already has anti-spam measures in place
you can expect to see very little increase in spam but there will
still be some that will get through.
