[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 578368, member: 8704"] I average 20 to 30 crap e-mails a day, yes I just delete them but everytime I receive one it lets them know they have a live e-mail account and I get a half dozen more, not only that but I get the same ones day after day, and I get telemarketer phone calls and junkmail too (if they get your e-mail address they can get your phone number and address if you have any information listed anywhere it will get out.). I have yet to get any spam that was actually tailored to my personal information, I get everything from refinancing my house (I don't own a house) to getting a bachelors degree online (I am working on a Masters degree right now). I get ads for cell phone antannas 3 or 4 times a day. Those are the legal things, there are untold amounts of ways for people to get information on you and use it illegally. There is also the problem that alot of people may have illegal tings on thier computer and not know it also, if you got your computer used there is no telling what might of been on it before you got it, and if it was ever on it there are ways to find out. Also there are things that you might not know that are illegal where you live and there are things that you could get into that are legal where you live but not where the server is, there is just too much to get into that can come back and get you. The big protection here is not that there is any sort of privacy but that there are so many people on the internet. I know all this sounds a little paranoid but I'm really not that concerned about any of it except for the annoyance factor. If they were actually trying to tailor adds to my taste and needs and sending me intersting things that would be one thing, but I really have no interest in the worlds greatest colon cleaner, I didn't the first time it was sent to me and still didn't the 10th time I got it. I have no interest in human growth hormone shipped from Mexico but that doesn't stop them from bugging the crap out of me. [/QUOTE]
