I get a few hundred spam mails a day and though I cast a cursory eye over the subjects I never read them, choosing to junk pretty much everything there.

I don't know if it's just me, but there seems to be a notable change in the type of mails I am getting. 6 months or so ago and for the bulk of the time before that, 99% my spam was sexual, i.e. porn, viagra /callis, penis enlargement type emails. Things have been changing over the last few months however, and now everything seems to be finance related.

So it seems that in terms of general trends, and as you might expect, spam merchants seem to play on peoples insecurities, and the global credit crunch is probably to blame for this change.

Have you seen the same changes, or is it just me?

I wonder what the next lot will be? I bet it'll be something like cosmetic surgery...
