Ok..... how do get rid of all these naked women on my e-mail???

My e-mail is just swamped with naked women.....and I swear, I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A NAKED WOMEN WEB SITE. but every day I get at least 6 - 10 naked women in my e-mail. I’m actually afraid to call my provider and say “how do get rid of these notices” without them thinking i’m some sort of sex addict or something. HELP.......

Your email software will then automatically move similar ones into a spam folder .

Try cookie,history, browser cache flush. If you need some cookies, you have to do them one at a time. Also run your malware, Trojan horse etc. detection system.

4. Mark it as spam every single time. You should have that option on your phone.

Anytime you get something unsolicited on your email. It hates that plus it puts their address into spam algorithms and they get blocked before they even get to people's emails. Always mark as spam.

6. May be connected to the sudden increase in unsolicited phone calls.

I suspect there's been a huge release of hacked consumer personal info recently, as everyone I know is getting more calls.

Hacked data may include email addresses and phone numbers and the scammers just play the game of "send a scam email or make a scam phone call and maybe one out of a hundred will fall for our trick". Just consider they probably send out millions of emails from those hacked data files.

You should be able to block further emails by tagging them to your "spam" or "junk" email folders. If that does not do it, try forwarding the email to your email provider's security group. They typically have an email address just for that purpose.

Your ISP will not think you are a sex addict. Sex addicts call and ask how they can meet the naked women.
