I've had them on and off for that long, but just recently...say the last 5 months or so, they've been appearing very regularly. On my uni a/c, I get a lot of those banking scam emails or ones from the U.N.. They must think most people are stupid. A tidbit of common sense would tell you they're not on the level. Best ones though, are the emails saying you've inherited so much money and such from a "distant relative". Pretty laughable in my case since I know who's who in my family tree. I do genealogy, so I've got a pretty good idea whom I'm related to
