SPAM........ AUGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[chilly]

Is anyone else about to lose their mind because of SPAM emails and texts?

Over the last 2-3 weeks I have seen a HUGE surge in spam, especially on my hotmail account which is actually just a dummy account I use when I have to sign up for something and I don't want them having my daily use email

Regardless, it is an enormous jump in quantity and I still have to go through, mark stuff as phishing, report it etc

Even SPAM texts are increasing

Not sure what the deal is but it is irritating as hell....

Nope, zero "social media" for me...

This forum is my sole "social" endeavor...

I have had that hotmail account for like 30 years I guess

Lol same here for social media. I only asked cuz i often wonder if getting hit with spam had anything to do with social media apps. Although it could be through google if ya use that? I dont use google....wayyyyyy to much tracking and targeting for me lol

I've been getting hit by these f*cking spammers in some of my comments on some small engine YT channels I am subscribed to.

Not really a huge bother, but just annoying.

After my ISP abandoned their email platform about 4-5 years ago with zero warning I got a GMAIL account figuring it was the most stable and I have kept it simply because it’s convenient

I hate Google with a passion but occasionally it’s a necessary evil

But funny thing, I never get spam on that gmail account

Go figure

Yeah, that wouldn't end well for them.

Just ask some local Jehovah's Witness cult members around here...................

I have a gmail as well only cuz i got a android, no spam. Yahoo mail is my junky one, no spam there either. I dunno why you are gettin hit.

Side not ive been a android fan for well almost since the begining, i totally hated that iphones didnt have an external memory card slot.

To my suprise on my newest droid i had to get last year...bastardss were sneeky and got rid of the external memory card slot! I was livid.

Sorry rant over.
