I get about 25 scam emails per day. Comcast recognizes them and sends them to my junk folder. Every day I review my junk folder because of a 1% chance of an email I want. I really get tired of deleting the others.

The kicker is at least 20 of the 25 emails that cover a wide variety of subjects all originate from the same source. At the bottom of each email is a link to unsubscribe or write to a specific location. It's always the same location no matter the sender. I’ve researched the location and it is a non-existing address in a shopping center. I would never click on the link.

Blocking the sender does not work.

I guess this is something I just have to put up with unless someone has a solution.

 

I've yet to find a solution, I've given up clicking the unsubscribe button as I'm fairly certain it either doesn't work, or my email gets sent to another outfit to email me with.

I move them to junk and block sender, but they're fairly relentless.

 

The only thing clicking on the "unsubscribe" buttoin is to verify the email address is real. You do the best thing when you simplymark them as junk and delete them

 

I have a feeling VPNs work for scam artist, too.

 

The senders of the same old spam seem to slightly change the address so as to avoid blocking addresses. Just the way it is. I still block most.

I have another email address I never us for anything commercial. I only give it out to close friends and family. It goes directly to my phone and iPad so I know it is important. All the rest requires a server connection.

 

Why go to all that trouble? Look in the address header for the origin IP address. Add it to the hosts file with an address of 0.0.0.0. Or if that's not something you feel yoiu can do, GITHub has a really nice long file of addresses you can add to your hosts file.

 

Well that aspect is new to me. I was not interested in developing software using voice so I am unaware how that will change my email server's address blocking service.

 

What I really think is clever, is when the caller ID on a spam call or text is your number and ID (like phone number and HOME).

Then, when you block it, you are blocking your own number. So, if you misplace your phone, you can't call it.

Really bitchin'!

 

Well, without going into a long lecture about how how a hosts file is used, the hosts file is read by the system and addresses with either a 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 address are blocked as those are considered non-existent therefore any information (in this case, email) that comes from that address gets sent to the bitbucket. I'd suggest that if this isn't something you're familiar with, you get a techy friend to do it for you.

I'm not exactly sure what "developing software using voice" has to do with a simple edit function.
