This is getting ridiculous.

I have received more than 200 spam emails in the last 24 hours, all offering to enlarge my male parts or increase stamina. There has got to be a way to stop this, besides changing my email. I do not give out my email, I don't fill out surveys or request more information on any sites. The only places I give out my email are where I am shopping online or doing business. Why do I get so many of these emails, and how do I stop them?
Does anyone actually buy this stuff? I mean, what motivates these people to send these messages- do some people actually respond?

Good day... I think they are taking the chance that somehow someone would fall prey to their trap that's why the persistence and audacity. plus the fact that the crime is in a virtual world the accountability to it is virtually impossible. We can only disseminate warning to unsuspecting victims.

set your Junk Mails setting to recognize more junks. Then all those junks will be directed to a folder in which will be cleaned occasionally. Nowadays, technologies have helped us to minimalize it.

I currently use gmail and it is good in making action against spam email messages. In gmail, you can create filters to messages that reach your inbox. One good thing about filters is having the messages you don't like to be deleted by the time they reach your inbox. Creating the filter is easily done by adding a keyword to be searched on a spam message or by actual sender. There are many other options when you create a filter in gmail. I recommend gmail for your problem.

I have gotten those emails before and I am a girl.
I don't know other than keep putting them in your junk email. I don't get those emails anymore but I get other junk email. I think it is hard to get no junk email at all. I think some of mine is probably from entering the email into sites on gpt offers that I do. I don't barely ever use my email for personal things anymore so it doesn't bother me that much.
Hopefully someone knows how to stop them and can help you more with that.
