Unwanted Emails .

[soulboy118]

Apparently today I've won a dior perfume , a dewalt tool kit , a Netflix subscription is ending I don't have , an apple iPhone 15 for being a loyal customer ( I'm not a customer) my mac afee virus protection is ending ( I didn't know it had started), I can borrow thousands from pay pal with my pay pal account etc etc , plus hundreds of mail delivery system on hold messages phew ! And this is everyday and other emails I won't go into , like me do you feel targeted and no matter how many times I unsubscribe ( when I didn't subscribe in the first place) they never listen .Do you find these a pointless distraction from your daily routine on looking after yourself ? , they really are a pain .

There just seems no way ( except my spam folder) of stopping these scam and unwanted emails .

yes and I discovered in 2016 my detail were on the dark web!! I’ve been scammed a couple of times and with Mcafee ( who also can be scammers delight telling me my computer is in a dangerous position if I don’t renew) I saw various information relating to me on the dark web! Great eh!!

So now I don’t trust anything

Good morning soulboy118. Hope your keeping as well as possible. Yes I get emails from boots saying I have won a free toothbrush or perfume. And screwing more recently for tools I have won. I just put them in my junk folder and they eventually stop. Does take a couple of weeks sometimes. Take care. Hope alls well. Brian

Have a good day .

They are a pain in the ......! Unfortunately they are part of life. Do you ever watch scam interceptors in the morning, that is a cracking watch and sometimes as soon as you've watched it your phone rings and low and behold it's from 02 (not).About 30+ times I've had them 🤣🤣🤣 I just have a bit of fun with them and let them waste their time.

[soulboy118 in reply to Mellywelly]

I do watch it mw . Same here with engaging with them it wastes a little of their time .

[Mellywelly in reply to soulboy118]

Nice one 🤣

I have noticed these things seem to come in spates . Some of them are sex orientated which surely there should be some control over and surely there must be others that there are legal controls on? But apart from that it takes ages to delete even if in the spam mail which is wasting our time.

Every time you click to unsubscribe then you get added to more lists because you had to open that email to do that so they know your email is an active one. Just delete them or put in spam folder.

Thanks

they sure can be a pain and even though a person never falls for the scam they keep coming anyway. I have tried unsubscribing everyday and everyday there is one from a new place.

[soulboy118 in reply to jackdup]

Seems its something we must put up with these days , everyone has had their email address stolen or sold as information is money these days .let's hope they get a grip on it and my view is that if you get scammed it's because you have not educated yourself or its because some ppl are greedy its an awful position to be in but I know no one personally that has been scammed.
