Yep, me too. Probably had about 4 different 'random' messages with dodgy looking e-mail addresses on them over the past week. A bit surprised really as I thought the fact people have to complete a sum before sending, would stop this from happening!
Chris.
Yeah, i'm currently getting about 6 or 7 spam messages a day. Very annoying!
I've just had an e-mail back from Richard at foliopic and he suggests changing from maths verification to image verification as this should make it more difficult for the spammers, we shall see. (does spam improve your google page position I wonder? 
)

Yup ImagesOfEssex was getting tons of spam a few months back but making that change quickly stopped it.

Yeah that's right just go to settings and then scroll down the setting is there.

I was getting spam everyday for a while but I must admit I was impressed they could add the 1+2 for verification so they deserved to hit me hard lol (Damn those maths geniuses).
Anyway it must be a stroke of luck they targeted me as I've just bought 5000 packets of viagra, lost £2000 pounds at the online casino and found out I had a long long long lost aunt in Nigeria who by pure luck came across my website trying to find bible scriptures and also at the same time needs £10,000 pounds for a knee operation (wow how lucky Is that) anyway I've just posted the money in cash this morning.
I bet you lot think I'm one of those gullible thickos sending the money but I had the last laugh, I just got an e-mail this morning saying I had also won the Nigerian lottery of £1,000,000,00 and I only have to send £50,000 for admin costs before they can release the money (whos laughing now hey).
Quote: Noooooo the spams have started again lol.
At least I know someone is looking at my site 
Hi Sitan,
Ensure that you are using image verification on your contact page to prevent this spam.
Simon , at least you can now buy a decent spam filter with your winnings
