Our email addresses, among other personal data, has been pilfered
from the many data breaches that have occurred over the past few
years (some from companies whose job it is to keep our data
secured). These have been collected by some and sold, usually on the
'dark web,' as huge lists that can be used to spam thousands, if not
millions of users. I've had my info stolen stolen several times;
often the idiot companies that have been breached will offer some
sort of service to monitor your private data; they'll report "Yeah,
your email/birthday/SS# etc. has been found somewhere you don't want
it to be." Not much you can do about it; we all use our email
addresses in account profiles--sometimes, it's all you can use for a
'username'--and, even if you get a new email address it's a major
hassle to change all your accounts (hackers try to do this) and the
new account will be compromised eventually.<br>
<br>
Telephone spamming is even easier: they're sequences of numbers, and
autodialers can just rotor through them. I kept my Bay Area phone#,
and I only know a couple people up there now and they're in my
contacts list, so I know if I get an unknown caller from that area
code it's almost certainly spam.<br>

Technology giveth, and technology taketh away.<br>

Ditto here. Interesting that my Iphone gets and captures different
spam messages than my PC using the same eMail buckets. I will say
my Verizon call filter app is doing a credible job diverting spam
calls to the junk pile.
<div>I wonder how the cave men handled it or the Indians with
their smoke signals. ( sorry, I meant to say cave persons and
Native Americans)<br>

spam, several years ago my wife and I each created 2
email addresses so we can signup for something

messages in one and 25 in the other in the past 48

high filter not the nuclear. I did notice a few years
ago that there was a great increase in spam message
