Angry Spam deluge!!

Just wondering if others are being bombarded with spam at the moment. This seems to have been a particular problem for me over the last 7/10 days. I was amazed today to find that, although I check my e-mails daily, I had 419. Fortunately I use Mailwasher Pro so deleting 377 of them was reasonably straightforward once I had downloaded them all and scrolled through to check for any wrongly identified. The main offenders seem to be Giveaway Cafe, The Pink Patch, Celldorado Ringtines and Tesco/Asda/Sainsbury Promotions.

Is it just me who is being singled out?
