Are spammers always in your computer?

1 Answer

Answer :

I get spam but never to that level of “personalization” . Are you aware that google/gmail uses your email to target ads? Try an experiment Put Lance… in the subject then have a few with Lacne Corp… or similar misspelling in the body. . Try it with a different name. John or Jon. etc. When I send email my titles and messages are generally mixed up a bit. Some of my typos are not typos. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I do the same with reports. Run a deep virus scan. You might be surprised at what it finds.
