A tip to know when you're receiving spam
Other
Most people know this one -- Use a fake name and then you can easily identify that it's junk mail.
Recently, I received an email from some spam website which had my alias that I use on eBay as well as one part of my home address. Since it got me worried I replied a few times (supposedly some chick was away from her bf for a few days) and then ended with a "No, thank you." Haven't gotten a new message or anything which I'm glad.
I've also stopped entering my info to get free stuff due to none ever arrived so that leaves me to believe the info was sold to a marketing company or who knows what.
I think the most naughty ones are> fake ebay and the last one I found eeverything5pounds with an extra e. If I have time, I usually make photo from the emails and send to the companies, to the real ones to do something.
Once I needed to block my cards, because a fake paypal stole my details, I realized something was wrong with the website fast changed passwords and went to the bank, since than I do not have the touch pay option on my cards.
Some of the companies sell your details...I know some of them and if I see someone share something from them here, I usually tell them.
I also put the junk to spam, but some of these people so rude and violent, they keep sending offers from women again and again from other email addresses, even I wrote them several time. I am going to charge them. I do not know how to do, but saw a guy in the TV who got unwanted calls and he started to charge them and earned a lot of money just to listen to them. I think I should be able to do this with my email account, unwanted mail senders pay me money to send me their offers. I am sure I have never signed up for these kind of emails.....
Meh I keep getting HMRC Tax Rebate emails and I fool for it every time. I guess it's just hope
Yep me too with HMRC, but it's only after I registered as a sole trader I kept getting those emails! Makes me wonder if they passed/sold my details or they got leaked somehow ... just a few mins ago got an email from Amazon Reward... whatever that is!?!?! Went straight into 'registered as spam'..
nemosays A guy got a lot of money like this, charging for unwanted calls...he made 2000 pounds, just listening to them for hours.
It happens Tom honestly. HMRC do rebates sometimes. OK, so it's rare. I did get one, a biggie in February. Unfortunately, I also get the spam emails too.
I get spam hmrc emails too and just delete them, also get update your amazon emails but again it's fake!!!
Really? Was it the eNewsletter or something else? Just let one of the team know and we can sort this out.
Morning Mark,
We never share any members’ email with third parties and have tried our best to create a system that lets you easily unsubscribe from any emails we send that you may no longer want to receive (our newsletter, stock alerts and a weekly unread notification update).
Its probably a bit off topic to continue the discussion here but if you could contact us and explain why and how you think you’ve been the victim of spam hopefully we can resolve it
There's a difference between emails you don't want from a Company you have been interacting with and spam.
