Is it me, or is the spam in emails much worse? I'm so tired of having to block what seems like 20 emails a day. Gee, if I took advantage of all they offer, I would have my 50 knees in perfect working order. Where would I manage to put the 20 free TVs and how I would I use all of the 100 phones they have offered me? Can you tell I am tired of this nonsense?

Pop Ups, avertising letters, spam, robo calls, etc. are the bain of our lift nowadays.

I did, however, throw away a letter from Med Life. My brain told me to open it, so I got it out and did. The letter said that I had inheirted some money from someone I didn't know. I called Med Life (several times) and told them that. The clarified that I was the person named in the will. I ended up hiring a PI to find out who this person was. The PI foundthat he never lived in the same state I live in, and I never lived in a state he lived in. The PI offered to contact his family which I did not do. That could be opening a can of worms. A check arrived in the mail and I put it in the bank in a separate account..."just incase." That was years ago and I still have no clue who this person is.

Be careful what you throw out...

Yes, this past week I have been received more spam than usual. I fear one of our "favorite" sites has sold our e-mail addresses.

How about this one, I received 3 emails regarding toilet bowl cleaner. Each one was for $400. So, I paid according to them $1200! Thats a lot of dirty toilets! Of course, I did not respond. I hope you have a great day free of the spammers, Suzanna.

One day recently I blocked and deleted 82 spams!

I am offended on a site I go to. I tried contacting them where it says Contact Us but after I write my message and hit send, it says message can't be sent. ugh
I am offended because it is advertising for Lucifer's Occult.
I contacted a sister site by phone and then next day, when it still was there, by email. I was told they would let their manager know. Advertisement is still there. Four to be exact....I just opened it in a new tab and they are still up 3 days later.

We get a lot spam emails, sometimes my finger feels numb, I usually say I have RSI of the delete finger. "G" I do have to laugh at a couple that seem to come often, I never open them but you can read the first few words, the one I am talking about is offering me a free Russian experience, me at my tender years,. LOL The other one that is a real pest is from the PO advising me I have a parcel, if you open that one it causes heaps of problems and you will need a techy to sort out the mess, how do I know one of my friends was expecting a parcel and she opened it, of course I never do but yes it is annoying.

Yahoo seems to know what Spam is and puts it in a folder. All I do is go over them and then click one box on the top and they are all gone. My google e-mail seems to know what spam is and I get 2-3 a month. Of course when I check on websites ,and if the want my e-mail before I can see what they offer, I back out. Long long time ago I was told if you unsubscribe just verifies a valid address.
If I were you I would open new email address and inform only the people in your contact list that are important.

Mmmm do you block email contacts that spam you or not? If I comment O dont want to be spammed but I will admit that I dont have as many as you a day.

Oh, it's me, too, I'm wondering if AOL would eventually clean out my Spam folder if I don't. Time is money and that can be twenty minutes a day. What's really bad is, seems like it's the same twenty repeatedly, with a few others sprinkled in that are new, so that if I skip a few days I have 4 repeats of some of these irritators. Be very wary.

P.S. The update on my Microsoft Edge yesterday did not take e 2-3 minutes, but rather 48 minutes. That was a lot of fixes and preventatives. REALLY scary.

Hope it was a genuine update because they have been warning about this:

https://www.infopackets.com/news/...

Edge updates automatically in Windows 10 . If you get a message asking you to update it is likely a scam. Fortunately I declined the update message before I received the warning.
