Who Is The U.K.’s Most-Spammed Man?

A new study reveals that three of the five most-spammed people in the UK all use the same ISP — Orange — with one man averaging 44,000 spam mails every single day.

Feel sorry for Colin Wells. He’s a workshop foreman in Exeter, England, and he has the misfortune to be the UK’s most-spammed man, with an average of 44,000 spam mails blocked from his inbox every single day – that’s around 16 million spam mails each year, according to anti-spam software company ClearMyMail. Until the spam was blocked, he was spending two hours a day simply deleting it.

He uses Orange as his ISP, as does the runner-up for the dubious title, who only receives 13,578 pieces of spam a day. ClearMyMail could see no connection between the ISP and the amount of spam, however.
