RQOTD 5/26/2020

Post by Jan Mosier »

How long have you had the same email address? Do you get a lot of spam? If so, how do you get rid of it?

We've had the same one since 1996 or 97. I'm getting a lot of spam. I've reported it, added filters and still get a lot of spam. I created a new email for myself and so far no spam.

I have a gmail account and it does a good job of filtering out spam

I've probably had mine for at least 12 years. Probably longer. I unsubscribe to stuff as soon as I start getting spam. It's cut back a lot, but some still gets thru.

as long as I have been doing email....so a long time. Not a big spam problem but I don't do a lot on my phone...somedays I totally ignore it. As far as the computer I don't go to sites I'm not sure about and just delete anything that looks suspicious. If it's important they'll leave a message.

My current email is the first email I ever had.

I've had my email for about 10 years now. I get some spam but it seems to go in cycles. I just block the senders and away they go.

I've had my email for maybe 10 years. We get a fair amount of spam.

I have blocked, unsubscribed, added filters and reported it and still get spam. :roll: I think it's time to delete the old account and be done with it.

I've had my email for a few years. I don't know if you have Yahoo or not but they are terrible about spam.

I've had mine a while now, at least 15 years if not more. I have gmail and it filters out 99% of the spam.
