    Interesting i've noticed a great increase in various different scams
    finally hitting gmail inboxes. To begin with gmail was for the most
    part free of spam, phishing, scams. This week has seen the start of
    gmail finally getting hit by the malicious stuff, the other mail
    networks have been suffering from for years. Lots of people thought
    maybe gmail is using something new which is making gmail more immune
    to spam than other webbased email. It seems after the week ending, the
    bubble has finally burst on the gmail beta service.

    For now i'll keep pressing the "report phishing/spam" button on gmail
    and hope the recent spate of inbox phishing/spam/scams are resolved by
    gmail filtering, but I get the feeling its here to stay now, and
    remember the gmail service is still only beta, so who knows what is
    still yet to come.

    Thanks,
