I decided to give an update on all of the spam emails we are getting. I decided to laugh rather than cry about them. So I decided that I will need a new house to store all of those free phones, TVs, medical stuff and so on. But that won't be a problem since I am getting thousands of dollars from all of the free gifts and money awards from these nice people. And besides, I have so many willing to offer me loans, I won't have a problem paying for the new house or the upgrades it needs. And with a couple dozen offers of home warrantees, I won't need to worry about any appliances breaking down. But don't worry, I just delete them all, so I really have no need to store any of any of the non-existing stuff. Nor do I want any the unwanted viruses or other ugly things they hope to get from me. But it's kind of fun to laugh about their hopes and dreams.

Once in a while, when I have time, I actually answer a phone call. I love the once for solar and car warranty. The first one I let them go through their whole spiel, asking all kind of questions. After I kept them on the phone long enough I ask them where they would put the solar. On top of the one that is on my roof? They promptly hang up.
The car warranty I ask them which car. They really do not know, but they usually start of with "your car warranty is about to expire" It can be fascinating the many ways they try to get the info.
This said I hope that they will eventual quit. in some way I feel sorry for the people that call, because I can not imagine how much rejection they have to deal with in a day.

Oh, I love how you manage to keep them on the phone! We have solar also and we get plenty of those offers too. We don't answer the phone and wait for a message. If a message is left, then we call back, if needed. We used to get a lot of offers to purchase our house, but those have thankfully gone away.

Gee, we could all have a big party. I never thought of that. And everyone could have their choice of a TV or phone.

Well its always better to laugh than cry. Gosh what a assortment of 'stuff' your being offered but think I will stick with my email provider as my offers are far, far less. Thanks for the update Karen and maybe, one day, there will be a really great offer...

Isn't it amazing! And I didn't even list all of the so called medical 'stuff'.

Those pop-up ads drive me crazy. Just can't figure out a way to stop them.

My hubby has talked with the email people and they still come in by the dozens.
