These shit spams are like Herpes. Once it infects you, you cannot get rid of it. WTF are these anyway?

I am getting them to every email address, even the cable internet one I never ever use.

Outlook email seems to be the most resistant. Apple email used to be but not now. Yahoo has always been a spam magnet.

Some assholes at the providers are selling the email addresses to spammers I guess.

This is obvious spam. I've been bombarded with these emails for months now. AT&T/Yahoo is allowing this but continue to block Sigforum emails.

Yeah, they fucking locusts of the internet. Mine all come from “de” providers.

My wife received an e-mail from CVS yesterday for some too good to be true discounts. She was excited and wanted to avail on one she liked, so she showed it to me. We do shop at CVS and the e-mail did look pretty legit. I clicked on the sender drop down to verify the senders address. It was from something like joyfulproducts@blahblahbla.yadayada.cn. total scam. Gotta be careful these days for sure.

Such has ever been the case with spam/scam email.

As with caller I.D. spoofing: It could be, if not fixed, at least mitigated, but there are too many vested interests in allowing it to continue.

Are they really coming from .de domains or do they merely claim to be?

I can put whatever I want in my "From: " field.

This is my main beef with the iOS/iPadOS email app: No ability to do that kind of thing.

You can click on the sender name and see the actual email address. Today, I had an email from Elon Portable Heaters and the email address shows "membership@phikappapsi.com". Nothing suspicious about that.

I've had pretty good results getting at&t to correct overbilling issues by threatening to pull my $100 per month service if it's not corrected. I have another fiber option but hate to change unless I'm forced to. My internet service is the last service I have with at&t. I dropped their cell service as well as DirecTV.
