laundering scams.
I have posted on forums and on message boards, and never been very careful
with my e-mail address, but I never get spam.
Lucky guy.
I don't so much get general spam but get loads of messages based on say one site I have "opted in to" which seems to spawn all sorts of other sites which seem to think I have opted in to them too. So I get loads of mails trying to sell me spurious digital products. Unsubscribing seems to have no effect and the consensus is that replying in fact makes it worse in that you confirm that yours is a live mail address.
Happily the "junk" feature in OS10.2 mail works really well and mine is now well trained.
I suspect we might be veering a little bit of course re a digital topic - so if anyone wants to talk to me further about this - I suggest we go off list -especially as I take over as list mum on Monday :-)
