RUBBISH E-MAILS MAKE ME ANGRY

[DSJ]

I am getting 60+ e-mails every day into my spam folder. It really is getting ridiculous. I know I could stop this by changing my e-mail address but I don't want to do this.

I am sure that companies I have had dealings with must have sold my e-mail address on.

Anyone else bothered in the same way?

[squarebear]

Nope. I always use throwaway hotmail/gmail address when signing up for things and only share my proper one among those I trust.

[sherrardk]

I get loads, I just delete them but I do read the ones 'offering' me money.

[wolf63]

I was getting about 400 a day for a while, but it is down to about 70 now. Just ignore them. :-)

[EcclesCake]

No, it doesn't bother me because it goes into my spam folder.

There are many ways of harvesting email addresses apart from companies selling on.

Change your password for logging on.

[ummmm]

What will changing the password do?

[squarebear]

If by accident DSJ has given his password away online, the spammers won't be able to get access to his account.

I'm getting loads of adverts for Apple computers. I keep adding them to my blocked senders list, but I guess the sender must be constantly changing the address he's sending them from.

[chrissa1]

I was just thinking.......... no you're right Ummmm. Changing your password stops hackers but no the legitimately sent ones.

[chrissa1]

*not*

[dotty.]

with hotmail i get dozens in the spam folder and delete them manually, but what is annoying is when you delete them all a message comes up from microsoft saying 'yayyyy no spam in here' doh!

For squarebear - no she has not revealed her password.
