How does this happen?
 

In my SPAM email today I had the following back-to-back-to-back:

1. "I enjoy having sex while people is (sic) watching"

2. "All I want from a man like you is honesty"

3. "New mini-chainsaw makes tree trimming 2 x faster"

...which led me to wonder "What kind of email list am I on???"

I do not see why so many people on this site get worked up about junk emails , they mostly go to your junk mail setting on I phone , I usually just clear them at end of day , , one click of button and there gone .I think some people on here need to find another hobby that doesn’t include reading all those junk emails , if you end up thrashing an email that might not be junk , we’ll if it’s important someone will send another , chill out guys we don’t need to know about your latest boring junk mail scam message

7800+ in the last 22 days. That's a lot of SPAM to wade through, to find an email or 2 that may be important.

Some people look forward to these emails as I need a good laugh for the day!

why go through the at all ??? I never do and the sky hasn’t fallen on my head ,I click there gone

I love Spam.
Without Spam I would have no communication with the outside world at all.
It's not all bad stuff either.
I have 17 Russian beauties as girl friends, 3 Nigerian Princes, helping me enhance my pension fund, and an evangelist who only charges me $10 a prayer!
Spam is great
Billy no mates! :icon_wink:

Your sense of humor is refreshing1

Pro-tip: if you stop clicking on porn sites or photos of scantilly-clad women, you will get less spam.

I can beat the Evangelist by $5. seasons special for TOV

I once mentioned spam regarding penile enhancements to my brother. He said to me, "I get emails talking about penile reduction. How do they know?"

But I like the pictures

For about 2 weeks I got explicit porn photos of “Russian” women regularly on one of my emails. Then they stopped. Not sure why it started or why it stopped. I only order online from Amazon and Walmart.

The other possibility is you are a victim of one of the many recent data breaches and the spam providers now have your email address, NEVER click on the unsubscribe button, just add to your blocked sender list, I have hundreds on mine.

It is not just the porno sites you visit, but almost any online service/sales you subscribe to has sold your address. I understand there are big bucks in those free subscriptions. Buy you can download an email reader such as Mozilla Thunderbird. It has an adaptive junk mail capability to automatically redirect the crap to the junk folder. Further you can label an address as junk. Also you can set it up to automatically delete the junk mail after a number of days of your choosing in case you want to review those emails for fear of losing the millions from the Zambian prince. It works well with whatever email service you are using such as yahoo, gmail, comcast, etc. It doesn't make the junk emails go away, but it sure cleans up the regular inbox.

Third Party
 

When you join something watch their notifications on third party sharing of information. Company's make money by allowing "share" lists onto their sites. A company selling "men's" product might be a good source list for the third party "sex" operation. it's all about profits.
