I’ve suddenly been getting several emails a day with big subject lines LANCIA YOU’VE WON!! and it purports to be from Wal-Mart or Home Depot or DisneyLand or a myriad of other palces. Sometimes I’ve won a cruise, sometimes its a car, sometimes it’s power tools. There’s an “unsubscribe” button on the bottom of each one that naturally I ignore. Each time I get one I block and it and click the “report spam” button but nothing seems to change, they keep coming just as frequently.

I’ve had this email address for 15+ years and I’ve never had this much spam. I don’t know what I did to trigger it.
