My personal rule is to never open SPAM Messages. These may contain viruses, trojan horses, etc. that begin to infect your computer immediately upon opening. Be safe - gather them together for as long as you want and then delete them without opening. If something does look interesting and may not be SPAM you can have your security software scan that particular email.

OMG! I'll have to get a membership account at ABC that gives discounts. Either that or go back to having hairy palms. What a dilemma.

I’ve been clicking on “unsubscribe“ and I think I’m actually getting more spam. I quit doing that.

How I get rid of SPAM!

Thin slice. Fry till crispy. Plate with steamed rice and soft scrambled eggs. Drizzle soy sauce over everything.
Enjoy!

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.
Exact same thing I do!

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

...which led me to wonder "What kind of email list am I on???"
Stop visiting the porno sites and those spam emails will eventually disappear 🫠

When you do want to order keep an eye on that day's Dollar/ruble currency exchange rate. If you time it right you can get some real bargains!

Another brain wave with NO sense of humor. People are making a real crisis out of this. Though true, the whole thing was meant to be mildly funny!

I got (supposedly) a email only about in the last 15 min. from my granddaughter. & when I tried to open it, it wouldn’t open so they asked me change my password. To make a long story short my granddaughter said she NEVER sent me a email, she said delete it grandpa it’s a scam! So do what you want!

If I got that may spam emails in just two days I would change my email address.

355/day.

"Sort by Sender" doesn't change anything.
