Yeah and miraculously 99% all have Gmail Addresses. All 350 that have registered in the last week or so. Some now are using Yahoo

Gmail addresses are by far the easiest to steal/phish from the legitimate owner.

Yahoo, aol, etc. all seem to run in cycles. Much less so since several of the domains have put limits on the number of addresses that can be had at one time. Gmail, however, if you want 12.1 million consecutive/random email addresses, no problem.

I used to get a lot of: IP originating in Asia, they'd fill in a European time zone, claim they were in South America and have a Yahoo.uk email address. I usually had them out the door fast enough that it couldn't hit them in the *** as they exited.

Two new anti-spam measures have been put in place. The registration process now uses a custom image that requires a human to look at an image and answer a question about the image (specifically, about mowers). This should help.
