I have been getting about a dozen spams a day (by actual count) of which the following is typical:
Since they have no idea where I am and you cannot email sex, what are they about? This started about a month ago and is relentless. My spam filter is obviously missing them.
I suspect they will want you to go to their website and give them your credit card number for access to their pictures. then they will charge your credit card for their profit.
fwiw, I moved my email address (I own the domain) from Network Solutions to Google a year ago. I wish I had done it 5 years ago. There is a 'uuuge difference in the efficiency of their spam filters. With Network Solutions I was getting around 5 errors (false positive or false negative) per day. With Google I get less than 1 per week.
If you’re really serious about not wanting to receive them, it is my experience that they are sent only to email recipients that have standard English language email domains, like gmail/yahpo/hotmail/com. I have email addresses at yahoo.no and mail.ru, and those mailboxes never get any spam. Literally never, like zero, year after year. My common English addresses, I get the same dozen a day that you get.
I suspect that they are sent to random letter/number combinations of email handles, and those that do not come back from mailer-daeumon are presumed to reach a real person, which is then locked into the mailing lists. But they only send to standard dot-com domains.
Talk to your ISP about blocking them. Sometimes you can do things on your local device AND also change filtering settings on the ISP provider’s site.
FYI - In the past I have been QUITE irritated with this type of spam. If we want to see this stuff, we know where it is at. They don’t need to constantly shove it in our face!
Not always – sometimes they just want you to respond.
That confirms that this is a ‘live’ email address. They sell lists of emails to other scammers, and charge a higher price for proven live emails.
Often they will have text toward the bottom saying something like “click here if you no longer wish to receive similar email offers”. Clicking that does 2 things: 1) confirms that it is a live human receiving this email, and 2) confirms that the human is gullible enough to click on things in anonymous, spammy emails.
Dude, why be such a skeptic? It’s probably a super hot girl who has such difficulty meeting guys willing to have casual sex that she must resort to mailing thousands of random email addresses (But why oh why do these girls decide to put their details behind a paywall? They’re only making it harder for themselves to get laid. Insanity…)
In my case, I’m going to get some sweet-ass sex from this “Elle” girl:
