I'm getting them from the same companies. Are you sure that Cox hasn't sold our contacts to 3rd party vendors.
I get about 4-6 every day, and they all come through between 3 and 7 AM ET. I have now created about 100 filter rules to get rid of them, but they change the spacing of the words on each new one to beat the filter, so I end up creating new ones, and the cycle continues. I feel like someone has sold my info to a 3rd party vendor in the last couple of months. It may have been Cox, or it may have been my state’s DMV because I renewed my license a couple months ago, and the influx of spam started about then. What really irks me TO NO END is that Cox seemed to have it under control for a while, but now it has started again, and it seems Cox has done NOTHING to squelch this round. And the fact that others, including my mom who has an email account under me, gets the same messages, tells me this could be a Cox issue with my info being sold to these bots.
I've had the identical experience - seemed good for a long time, then bombarded the last couple months, always early AM, same 8 - 10 sources. I guess I'll try above suggestions (not hopeful). Gmail sure has a superior filter...
