Yes, I believe there is an increase.
I seem to win a lottery every second day and all of my banks, even some that
I wasn't aware I had accounts with, seem to be having problems with my
accounts.
A lot of emails from generally African countries, trying to find someone to
take millions of dollars from abandoned accounts or crooked generals or
public servants.
I must admit though, I haven't had the regular bulk Viagra advertising of
late.
I had a very sophisticated notification from a bank advising that my regular
electronic statement was ready.
There was a link where I could login to the 'bank' to retrieve my statement,
all the correct bank location details, logo's, etc.
Highly professional, identical to the real bank, except that is was not my
bank but one that my wife banks with.
Obviously the link was not to the actual bank.
Most of the rubbish is being trapped but some sneak through.
Anything that looks valid but requires bank or government department login
gets extra scrutiny.
You just can't be certain anything is valid.

So is there like some major email spamming virus going around? I'm getting
a bazillion emails from people peddling Rx's. All craftily created to get
through our Message Labs wall.
