> [@Zer0DazE](#): > > at least 10 a day in my inbox, and a bout a billion in my spam folder. Ya the spam folder fills up pretty wild but the last week I have been getting about 10-15 a day in my inbox that are obviously spam. They seem to include my email in the body so I wonder if its just a new wave that has been crawling gmail accounts. ---

Thanks nyspeed I was about to call the doctors office that I gave my address to. Thats what I was worried about too. I wanted to see if its a new wave of spam or if it was just my email that got on some list.
