| The newest spam thing after email spam is social spam. Bloomberg reports spammers create as many as 40 percent of the accounts on social-media sites, and about 8 percent of messages sent via social pages are spam, approximately twice the volume six months ago. Be careful of clicking on images. While Facebook is old enough to spot and stop much of the spam, newer sites like Pinterest have not yet set up effective filters. | |||||||
