#emailspam — Public Fediverse posts

#Spamming gets worse by the minute. 😔 It really sucks! Even though some 95% are detected and filtered, there’s still more than enough getting through. The older I get, the worse the #Internet becomes.

PR spam today looks like email spam in the early 2000s

LinkedIn shitty emails achieve new low with "puzzle games". I never use Linkedin. I have unsubscribed from every email list. I never engage with the platform, unless a colleague sends me some post they shared. I then use cookie blockers. But now they think my prof status matches these incredibly shitty games. This so called world professional platform is the best example of enshittified user data farming.

Hey [insert brand name], sending me unsolicited emails that I can’t unsubscribe from is one of the best ways to lose me as a customer, and does NOT encourage me to buy more of something…

The email was received to an address I used specifically and SOLELY to sign up for ffmpeg's trac bug tracker; however I more suspect the user that "sent" this email had their gmail account compromised.

Der KI-Spam wird immer fieser. Damit kann man sicherlich einige Leute einschüchtern.

Wenn man genauer hinschaut steht da natürlich totaler Bullshit, aber stellt euch vor, ihr seid vielleicht noch nicht so lange in Deutschland oder tut euch aus einem anderen Grund mit der Sprache und der Bürokratie schwer!

Seriously, Azure? 4 identical emails to an inactive user with no way to unsubscribe—is this GDPR compliant?

This is the weirdest email I've received yet. Clearly this seems like a spam message? I don't know a Tom that has/would have had a BT Internet email...

I removed the leader username as I assume this is a hacked account.

So I have a question for the Mastodon hivemind. A long while back, I signed up for an event through EventBrite. Went to the event and that was that. Or so I thought. Ever since then, I have received non-stop spam from them, or rather event organizers through them. I have logged into my EB account and unchecked every box, but I still get these invite emails. Anyone have a solution that will end this?

I'm monitoring the work inbox today. We got an email from someone at a completely different company reporting what looked like spam.

Being new, I wondered if they were a contractor or maybe using a private email (they weren't).

I've never seen such specifically targeted spam before! Usually it's "here's your invoice" or "please help me unlock my money", not "I've got spam".

(And no, it wasn't a typo. Ambulance trust not equals mobile operator)
