Top Spam For The Year: Viagra, Mortgages And Porn

from the wonderful dept

Well, what better way to close out the year than a post about spam? AOL has released their list of “top” spam messages from 2003 which represent the subject lines of the spam they found most often in 2003. At the top of the list, of course, is any subject pitching Viagra. Next up are spam for low mortgage rates, and coming in third is the ever popular porn spam. AOL claims they blocked 500 billion spam messages – an average of about 40 per day per user.
