When I opened my Hotmail account I was offered to sign up with a Careers.com promotion that offers work at home positions. This has been several months ago and I was all for it and had high interest in what they had to offer.

The only comment I have about this, is that it is a scheme and they filled my email box up with spam everyday with offers, but the offers ALWAYS required a payment before you could start work.

In my opinion, if you are going to be a reputable online jobs source, then you should NOT be allowing scammers to list jobs on your site.

What are your experiences?

Most of the spams I get have something to do with Viagra and I have no idea how can they tell if I need one. Regarding your experience, reputable online businesses indeed try to keep their sites clean. I have experience with 2 webmasters who makes it a policy not to be involved with anything that will inconvenience their members.

I also receive a lot of spam / scam mails from different sources. If you think that it is a scam, then do not open it. Just delete it. If your email has the option to ban or directly put mails from that source to junk folders then do so.

Same here. When you scroll down spam mails and there's unsubscribed link, I click that once, but few days later they've made my inbox full. My friend told me that when you click that unsubscribed link, it would activate the company database that your mail is active so they're still sending you MORE spam letters.

I really find it very annoying to see spams on my mailbox, I have tried also unsubscribing to stop my subscription but what happened is that more and more unnecessary mails still come. The thing is even if you turn on your spam guard from your mails they can still get thru it and you still have it in you mailbox, too disgusting!

It really annoys me to see spams in my mailbox, they just fiill it with unneccessary mails that is mostly post dated and contains viruses to damage my computer. It is right also that when you scroll it down there are unsubscibed bottoms to click but yet it doesn't unsubscribed you but instead this just adds up more spams to your mails.

True. It makes me really annoying having such mails. And yes, here's more, there's some company sending spam using late dates. I need to find that post 'coz it might be important. But then, it is still a spam.
