Bonus day for spam emails
 
Usually I have about 20-30 spam crap a month, with a email account that only used for public accounts.

This morning I had 18 non delivery Fedex….13 UPS…27 I win a gift card…and 8 emails I have anywhere from 1 million to 18 million in a forgotten account. My Mastercard and pay pal account need new activation (have neither)

And my amazon account has been put on hold for suspicious activity.

That’s a lot of spam in one day. Bet the Prince is awaiting my panicked email or phone call:1rotfl::1rotfl:

My other two email accounts have 3 and 1. So my guess up is some company got hacked and exploded my email. Time to delete and start again

Those are some impressive counts!

I get a lot more in a few hours.

That’s what you got all day? I get that much in an hour. I have to check my phone/iPad
/computer constantly so I don’t get overwhelmed. Lucky you!

My computer nerd grandson updates all of our devices to keep us from even receiving crap. Sent him a text, he was on it.

This morning nothing, so glad we helped invest in his education :eclipsee_gold_cup:
Since we have different devices for family and banking only, work, and the one public account, it’s easy for him to manage quickly. Apple does a nice job, but not nearly as efficient as him

Our 12 year old grandson coming next week should put him on that.

popular people!

There is a GOP email center from which you can't unsubscribe, and they keep adding domains so that they just keep on coming. . I had to create a sender's address delete email rule for political domains, as well as scammer domains. . still adding to it every week!

sigh, the modern world has its advantages and of course, disadvantages. . .

I will say is a little creepy when he remotely takes over my screen to fix issues, all the while keeping up a conversation with me.

Our guy face times looking at our screen telling us what to do.

Can I hire him?

What has been driving me crazy is I've been getting political emails and text from both side of the isle nonstop.

Ditto our son and daughter-in-law. We like our daughter-in-law's instructions better because she has patience with us, while our son after we've screwed up for the fifth time under his instructions says "Oh, dear God". and puts his wife on the phone. Sometimes we screw up just to hear his frustration:laugh::laugh:
