I've suddenly been bombarded by some very disgusting spam advertising (email). Has anyone else had that problem? If so, maybe we could compare notes to figure out the sites that are generating it, so we can warn others to avoid them. I have signed up for a few newsletters, purchased a mishmash of collections, etc. Or it could be something totally unrelated to my embroidery and sewing newsletters. Therefore, I ask. Thanks for your help.

If you're downloading apps or anything on your phones or ipads, your sending your email address to the world. Everytime you sign up for a group, or buying something online, you're giving out your email address. Since I got the Iphone 4s, and my Kindle Fire I have so much junk mail, sometime 30-40 every morning when I turn on the computer. My email address was just hacked a few weeks ago, and they send spam from my email address to everyone in my email contact list. I don't like it, but that's just the way it works. Welcome to the world of Modern Technology.

I have a different email address for everyday use. I just use this email address for sewing and embroidery. That is why I was wondering if someone else might be having this problem.

Usually spam blocker works, but whew. I guess there must be a glitch in the system in the blocker department!! I got another batch this morning.
173694We used to get alot years ago, but most has stopped, haven't a clue where this comes from, other than the "cookie" thingys that the computer does when you visit a website.....my email has a feature that I can black list an email address and that helps cut down on this kind of thing...

26316I must say that I have never had this happen, although I have had the odd one telling me I have won millions in the lotto. My service provider keeps the spam at bay. Sarah.
255054funny you should mention this,I once clicked onto a fortune tellers ad(tara with a crystal ball) and before I knew it,I was being bombarded with rubbish in this vein, I had won the u.k./australian lotto, a american soldier had come across a deceased millionairs fortune in afganistan,and I was his nearest and dearest?etc. some nigerian millionairess was dying of cancer and wanted to leave her money to me,to open a hiv clinic,loads and loads of this sort of rubbish. I'm pretty sure it was all connected to this fortune teller.wan't be nosey and click on anything like that again.
regards lesley
