Hi Bonnie,

I'm with you. I have 3 different mailboxes (with different ISPs) and I delete everything that I don't already know.

With GMail I never see any spam. A ton in the beginning went directly into the spam folder and a handful got through to my inbox - but after I marked those few as spam, I haven't seen even one. And it's been probably 6 months now.

I know, I sound like a Google marketing person... <s>

I get a ton of these types of emails supposedly from my bank or from credit card companies. If my bank or my credit card company is trying to get me to update some important information, I think they'd either call me or snail-mail me. Otherwise, I aignore everything.
