Reuters reports here at CNN News: "Criminal gangs using hijacked computers are behind a surge in unwanted e-mails peddling sex, drugs and stock tips. The United States, China and Poland are the top sources of spam, data from security firm Marshal suggests."
I myself using Spamarrest to stop the spam overflow into my inbox, works good for me, maybe not perfect as a few mails might get lost but eases the pain of not having to check 100 spam mails each day.
I had been a loyal and paying customer of Spamarrest for some time, recently their service has been erratic and I lost a number of important messages. After not receiving adequate support I decided to cancel my recently renewed account and asked for a refund of the unused portion. Here is their response:
Hi David,
Thanks once again.
David, I am very sorry to tell you that we are not able to offer you a refund for your account. You may continue to use your Spam Arrest account till 2008-10-01 by reactivating the account.
I truly apologize for your inconvenience, David. Please do let me know if you need anything else.
Best Regards,
Peter
