iPhone Spam

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting flooded with a bunch of iPhone spam … and the worst part of it is that almost all of it is getting through my Google Mail filter (I use Google Apps to host my e-mail).

So far I’ve received:

  • From: “ActivateiPhoneRequest”, Subject: “iPhone Charged to Jason. Use This Activation Code.”
  • From: “Apple Customer Care”, Subject: “iPhone Activation Failure, please read.”
  • From: “The Apple Store”, Subject: “You’ve Won a FREE* iPhone!”
  • From: “AT&T iPhone”, Subject: “Fraudulent Activity on Your iPhone!”
  • From: “AT&T Security”, Subject: “iPhone Fraud!”

Am I the only one having this problem with Google Mail? It appears to be catching a ton of other spam (I just combed through my spam box), but this iPhone stuff seems to be getting through on a whim. Does anyone have a solution?

Thats too bad, my gmail spam filter so far has worked perfectly. I even noticed some mail had labels that were automatically added from a filter were still caught and removed as spam. On a side not i have filled 49% of my gmail account in just over three years. Oh yeah, my 9th email was a confirmation to get the ‘window’s fanatics’ newsletter. I didn’t waste any time switching everything to gmail from my very old hotmail account.
