What kind of spam emails do you get?

Postby Vinaya » 02 Feb 2016, 01:47

I get emails about winning lottery, friend and companionship request, help to fund transfer, casino offers and adult dating. What about you?

I don't pay enough attention to even begin to say what they are about, they just get deleted. I have 15 Gmail accounts that get checked automatically and if Google sends it to spam I never see it. If my friends really want to contact me, they know where to look. If I have friends I really want to follow, I make sure their emails get seen.

I get the same emails as you do. I think the common ones are the fake Facebook messages and the adult dating website. So annoying!

Yes, I too get those, which of course go straight in the bin LOL I also get a lot of adverts for pills for different purposes, some of which I'm not sure I can write here, but I'm sure you all get the drift. I've noticed that I also get invitations to join shady WAH sites I never solicited.

I got quite various types hehe. To name a few: Dating sites, advertisement for small business who did their mail marketing wrong to let them be in the spam box; marketing related stuffs, education and fashion offers (I subscribed and then too lazy to find the unsubscribe link, they made it so hard to see so I just block them), mass email marketing sites (I attempted to spam people using tools and then I am spammed by them lol). Last but not least is the ads for enlarging p**** lol. They clearly sent it to wrong demographics tsk tsk.

Just yesterday I got an email from a Mr. Zongo about some millions of dollars resting in a bank account with a dead owner. The email was pretty long and at the bottom has a space for a short form to indicate my name, address, etc.

I get same kind of spam emails, but since all those emails are sent in Spam folder, I never check them. It would take a life for me to check all those stupidities.

Thankfully I use a burner email when I know I'll be overloaded by signing up for surveys and stuff. I get a lot of spam about oddly specific meds, lots of insurance plan spam, the typical personals ads spam for local hookups with women that don't exist. At the very least the guy who started the whole Nigerian scam facade was caught and locked up a few years back, so that's a start.

Yes, I receive that kind of emails too. Must of them are advertisement for products, invitations to join companies and websites. Soemtimes I just delete them, but when I have some time I mark some as scam emails, so when I receive it again google send them directly to scam.

The kind of spam email I get are the ones from previous sites that I happened to visit or signed up with. I had tagged them as spam so the next time they email me they will go straight to my spam box. That is what I like about gmail.

I do get several spam emails regarding winning of 250K British pounds, offer for online work, medical benefits, online shopping, and many. But usually I delete them all as soon as I open my Inbox.

Unfortunately I receive different types of spam emails: casino games, shopping and adult sites. This is very annoying because sometimes I end up missing an important email in the middle of all the junk, even using spam filters there is always some spam emails in my inbox. Most of the times I end up blocking the senders address since the unsubscribe most of the times never works.

I get spam emails about services offering training on how to earn online.

These require me to purchase some training kit.

I once almost fell for one particularly inviting offer.

Has anyone else received such email?

I think you have summed it really well already, as I get the same things. Plus, "you have won..." type of things. I like gmail a lot because they seemed to have a great filter, and those usually going to spam folder, which I don't have to see, unless I need to look for confirmation from the site that I had just signed up with.

To be honest I have no clue what kind of spam mail I get. My email provider is nice enough to sort my mail and put anything they deem to be spam into a spam folder. So when I do go to check my email I simply delete whats in the spam folder.
