Am I the only one who hasn't ever received a scam email?

[hornetrider]

My car has been for sale for ages (2 or 3 weeks), and I haven't received ONE scam email. No nigerians, no money transfers, no overseas shipping requests. I've not even had any canvassers either.

I've also never received a request to take 10% of any 'transaction fee' on behalf of their 'client'.

What's going on? I thought everybody received multiple scams in response to adverts?

[Jasandjules]

Just full stop really. Any e-mail account used more than once seems to acquire spam.

[pedantlewis]

I got plenty of canvassing when selling my last car, but no scammers.

[benoli]

I think i've received them, i just don't check my spam box much !

[Nobody You Know]

I never recieve any to my Hotmail or work e-mail accounts, don't get any spam either.

The only Scam e-mail I have ever received was when trying to sell my motorbike in PH classifieds.

[LukeBird]

I haven't.
I feel like I've missed out!

[hornetrider]

Yay, I'm now in the club!

Thanks, whoever it was, most amusing

Sold a car a few years ago now and i was buried in spam, alot of them where irish based, or so they said.
Also had plenty of mobile calls offering to sell it for me.

Somehow, I never have. I've sold loads of different things on fleabay, including cars, phones, laptops etc, all the things that would usually attract scammers, but either my Yahoo! spam filter is very very good, or I'm just lucky.

I'd quite like one of the russian nympho ones though, just for research, obviously...

Nigerian, Ugandan, general african e-mails as well as the Nigerian Scam as letters regularly (2 or 3 a month) up to about a year ago!
Of course the regular Viagra krap every day!

[speedchick]

So far I have received a full deck of the banking ones, including one from the Bank of England, quite a few relatives in Nigeria that have died, the usual Viagra and male appendage enhancment ones, and just this week one from the FBI.

I get constant fake bank security emails to my hotmail, e.g. from [e-mail], annoyingly most don't get picked up by the spam filter.
