Are the hucksters that desperate, that they are putting out so many that I get 4-5 a DAY?
Used to be I'd get 2-3 a week.
Now I get 4-5 a DAY, even though I ignore each and every one of them.

I get a lot of surveys from a couple of the Airlines that I fly, and I do complete them sometimes in order to receive free frequent flyer miles.

(10,134 posts)I think I can block mail from a specific address but dont know how effective that would be. They might use various addresses like the spam phone calls I get so often.
I probably shouldnt even say this, afraid itll jinx me, but Ive been getting swamped by spam phone calls for months. Ten or more a day. The last month they started coming on weekends too. I always ignore them and block the number but they have a way to show a different number every time. I got 12 of them last Sunday a week ago, and only one since then. Maybe I finally outlasted them, I sure hope so.

This is why more of these telemarketers and scammers are using local hospitals and clinics.
Or businesses for spam e-mails.

Then, I never have to click anything unless it's clearly a known, trusted source. (I got tired of getting 6 emails a day from Musicians' Friend because I bought a box of string & 10 picks. Unsubscribed without concern.)
But, mostly I just hit the SPAM button.

(3,334 posts)Spam risks that they know are automatically blocked and telemarketers show up when I get their calls. If I don't know the number I don't answer and the caller gets a message to leave a text or voicemail. Emails that have something like /sams club/ or thank-you_lowes_ I just delete without opening.
