Anyone else having problems with spam getting through? I've had several spam messages in the last 24 hours and I never get spam. Just curious if it was just me or if others are having the same problem.

Yes, these come from Western Union Group Company and title fields are like Open Positions etc.
This campaign is especially targeted to European countries.

A clarification to readers: this thread doesn't discusses only about Western Union spam to Gmail Inboxes
