Have you seen your spam emails 10x like they took a Grant Cardone class!? [Off Topic]

Over the past few weeks, I've noticed a crazy increase in the amount of spam emails.

Legitimately close to 10x.

I have no idea why or how, but I'll get 10 of the same emails at a time from slightly different addresses.

Have any other savages seen the same thing lately?

Side note: if anyone needs any help finding mail-order brides, I'm sure I've got the connect in there somewhere (about 100 times)

Have you seen a lot more spam in your junk mail lately?

No marketing, mayo isn't an MQL

Haven't noticed that myself, but we live in the age of spam.

Oh yea, that I know. But getting dozens of concurrent messages near simultaneously. Seems more out of hand than usual.

Getting a TON of "How can we help you get more prospects" eamils. Mostly the same company, but 5 reps will hit me at the same time.

Somehow that’s worse. Like I get the online casino, dating etc. stuff coming like that. Or getting multiple messages to the different inboxes I receive. Such a waste

I did get three from the same company last week, theoretically three different reps, but I still have no idea who they are, what they are selling, or what benefit I’d get.

I feel like that's kinda the point... and they missed it by a whole hell of a lot.

Yes, yes it is. It actually took me a while to figure out it was the same company, though - that's how bad their overall email strategy is.

I've received a shit ton of recruiter inmail via LinkedIn. My interest is turned off too. Annoying AF.

Makes any legitimate offers you MAY have been interested in be ignored as well.

Not helping anybody.

I know that's right. The spray and pray ones piss me off the most. I have almost 20 years of sales experience. You obviously can't read. Go get your hustling rockstar elsewhere you bastart. 😒

I've been getting lit up by Primerica people on LI trying to add me to their downline or whatever.

Some of the messaging has been targeted at people who aren't working.

SO. DAMN. LAZY.

A lot of emails saying they have been trying to reach me about extending my car warranty… Also a lot of overseas manufacturers that are wanting to discuss us distributing their products and I get 10-20 of those emails a day in my spam folder that are all from the same person.

Glad I'm not the only one - misery loves company.

It's just so poorly done.. If there was any way in hell I might have clicked one that chance was eliminated by ridiculous amount of repetition.

I am also getting a lot of spam emails that have viruses embedded in them. Emails coming from a legit customer saying they need me to review this invoice or to submit costs for a bid request

Brutal - those are sneaky.

Hopefully you've got a good antivirus/filter setup.

I noticed that too. I actually get between 20-30 emails in spam. I don't really care about it, because most of it is advertising, so I don't open it, I delete it right away.

Does anyone else get random spam for rapid antigen test kits that are clearly from a Linkedin scrape?

I checked today after a couple days off and not only is it spam (as you know some aren’t spam and it’s actual prospects replying) but I had a looooaaadd of phishing ones about fraud and credit cards etc etc

Those are usually pretty easy to spot but sometimes they can get quite sneaky.

In line with this I also noticed an influx of companies saying I have set of direct and recurring debits with them - when contacted the company saying ‘I’ve never even heard of your company’ they’ve replied saying their EPOS or POS has been hacked etc so worth checking!

Ouch. Those hacks really undermine trust in an organization.
