Re: Disgusting e-mails

I've had the same email account for over 25 years, and I don't get any kind of dirty emails like that. I do notice that if I'm looking up a specific product online then go to my Facebook, many products that I was just looking up online will show up in my feed as "suggested" or "recommended," then I'll get emails based on the products I've been looking at. It seems that everything is connected these days.

Yep, I got hit with that too....I just hoovered my cursor over the email address (I never open the emails with the suggestive topic line)and I blocked the address.

And another thing I did which is the reason I like AOL EMAIL is in addition to email addresses you can also block emails based on specific words too and it even stops the emails from going to spam....These perverts kept changing their email address but all were similiar so it was probably the same group, but when I blocked "words" that finally stopped the emails once and for all....

My junk mail is full of disgusting sex explicit emails every morning. You are not alone!

Delete them and move on. The problem is that you opened some and read them and did all manner for poking around. I can't begin to understand why. But to the computer operated systems that are sending that stuff out, you raised your electronic had and said "I'm interested!" so now you are being slammed with the stuff. Delete them and move on.

I get a ton of them as well and have contacted Yahoo numerous times. They do have the ability to drill down to the source and block them from the Yahoo servers, but they just aren’t interested in doing it. They say that as long as they go to the spam folder, the program is working correctly. Oddly, every time I contact them, they do drop considerably for a few months, but then they’re back again.

They just automatically go to my spam folder.

DH used my email address to get some photos sent from someone on Craigslist. Scam, I now get all the risque emails. The only way I can dump them is to get a new email. Not happening, but Gmail is good about trashing this stuff for me before I even see it. People on Craigslist make money by selling these email names.

I get a ton of them as well to my hotmail account. In my case it isn't affiliated with Pinterest at all because my hotmail account is linked to Pinterest.

I just click delete all and move on. It's a several times a day occurrence.

This is not true in my case. I never opened one of them. All I did was check the box to delete all and did that. More and more just keep coming in.

I Have never gotten them. What I can't stand are calls from V even if you block them. Always different numbers. Wish the telephone company would do something about them.
