Just wondering if you guys get phishing emails, and if so what they are, or if you have any stories about them. First post in a while

I actually never get phishing emails. I am extremely careful with my email, I only give it by IM or phone or personal contact, never in internet forms (except some exceptions).
Then, I use a hotmail for all other stuff.
Of course, (my kl username) @ krazyletter.com is much harder to guess than bob123@hotmail.com or something, so bob123@hotmail.com will get probably many more spam/phishing emails.
Over the 1 1/2 years I've used my email, I have only gotten one piece of spam.
Also, not typing your email directly into websites helps, otherwise if I typed my email out directly, robots would gather my email and put it on spam or phishing lists.

Um, that's easy. Use a robots.txt to disallow Google, etc.
Where was that phishing test that you sent me a while ago? Where we both missed the same questions?

Here we go:

I don't think I've ever recieved a phishing email.
