Spam emails

I turn my back for 5 minutes (well, 24 hours!) and already there are 101 messages in my Spam folder. Just wish they'd beggar off!!

Sick n tired of constantly having to get rid.

Re: Spam emails

I don't get that many these days I have unsubscribed from ones that offer that option and blocked some of the more persistent which just really leaves those who are telling me I have inherited a million or that the fbi are looking for me, which I find quite amusing. Probably get 10 a week now.

Re: Spam emails

They are annoying but can be deleted quickly. I don't know why they bother to be honest - especially when they're sending me emails for Viagra

Re: Spam emails

I found they come in waves. I had blocked many of the persistant ones like the Viagra and my extra 4 inches on my p e n you know what I mean. Not as if my name is John
I now have a new surge of them so I am also deleting a lot again. Some of them like Canadian Pharmacy send up to 8 a day. Whats all that about.
Luckily on my spam box there is a delete all sign so that gets pressed every morning.

Re: Spam emails

Thank goodness for spam folders, I get so much rubbish in there.
Like BowieEyes I find spam come in waves, just lately it has been postmaster can't delivered messages and something in russian

Re: Spam emails

I know I can delete all, but I just get fed up having to do it. It's easier to do in bulk on the desktop or laptop, but not on the iPad/phone.

I'm reluctant to open up and unsubscribe, in case they just keep doing it, or they send me a virus!!

Re: Spam emails

I never open them or go to their sites. Some are automatically generated emails and once you 'go to their site' to unsubscribe they have got you .

Re: Spam emails

Exactly Meg!! That's why I won't open them.

Re: Spam emails

The thing is if you open them up they know for sure your e mail address is live. So just delete and they eventually do get less until the next wave

Re: Spam emails

If it's some kind of search bot it may have picked up Bowie and thought 'aha! David Bowie'

Yes, that's one I sometimes get a lot of spam from - they're one of the worst.
