Spam
Spam is getting worse. I am getting between 15-20 spam emails a day. I have check the spam filter and the spam still gets through. I am preparing to close my cox account. It is an an extreme nuisa...
It seems the more filters I create, the more spam I get. Now many of the spam filters are USELESS. I put in a spam filter to direct anything with “CBD Oil” in the from, address, or body, and it still goes to my Inbox because they changed the font style of the title. I now get AT LEAST 50 spam/phishing emails a day, and it has gotten WORSE in the last few days. If I get another phony Amazon/CVS/Costco email that tells me to click on a gift or an EASTER egg (like I’m going to fall for something like that in OCTOBER) for a reward, I am going to just shut down my email account. It is ANNOYING and RIDICULOUS. Something HAS to be done about this excess spam.
I get the same garbage with that cutesy upPer aNd LowEr case mix- obviously to sidestep filters they know people are setting and a tell they know their trash isn't wanted. How is it that Cox cannot (or perhaps WILL not) somehow identify email servers sending it and block them. The tactic makes this harassment.
