Im not sure if this is the right place to ask but how on earth do I stop spam?
I didnt get any until I bought my ipad a couple of months ago.
Since then I get about 30-40 notifications a day.
It may be a coincidence that it started when I bought the ipad as that is the only time I have used my email address.
It doesnt appear on the mail on the ipad ,just on the laptop.
Apologies for being so thick!
I do get a fair few but google mail filters them all so they don't bother me. Hotmail is the same. Which one do you use?
Thanks Fiona,I use Yahoo so will think about changing to one of those you suggested.
I have 3 email accounts. One for friends and family. One for anything else. But the third one is for anything I suspect may end up with me getting heaps of emails asking if I want physical enhancements
When I started getting inundated with them some looked like they were from Currys and Argos saying I had been selected for £1,000 prize!
I also get one every day selling a Nursing Course Certificate which looks like American wording.
I am tempted to reply saying I did that over 50 years ago but resisted and just deleted the lot!
I use windows live mail and if you right click there is a chance to add any email to the junk folder so if any come from the same source they automatically go in the junk folder
I've got a spare e-mail address which I always use for things such as competitions. As these always generate a lot of spam this always goes to that address so I can easily delete the lot. What is particularly useful is that the phishing e-mails I get, purportedly from my bank, paypal or other financial institutions, always go into that one so I immediatly know to delete them as none of these institutions have that e-mail address for me.
