That's exactly what is happening to me, Elizabeth - Most are offering vouchers and discounts.

I have just deleted today's 56!
More are on their way, no doubt :-D

I've just started getting masses on my orangemail which I use very .little, just for some addresses which make it hard to change to my preferred account. Lots are the ones offering vouchers! Just keep labelling. .them as spam and deleting

Hi Maggie :-)

I wonder if that is it!

Cos I have recently bought items from A*gos, and they have sent me email receipts.
As you say, it's much harder to return goods with this method.

I wonder if that's the source of my problem.
Or it could have been the Holiday company I bought a holiday from recently.

Why do shops now offer to send your receipt to your e-mail address?

It's there, on the till, press the bl**dy button and give it to me!! :-| :-|

It's a small bit of paper to you, it's an expensive print out for me if I need to return the goods.

I also have no wish to give any firm my e-mail address to sell on, or use to send me yet more useless e-mails :-P :-P

Hi Barbra :-)

The only thing I can think of, is that my email addy has been sold on to companies recently.

I don't think it's to do with being hacked. That happened to me before, when I was tricked by a fake google page into entering my password. The hacker then used my account to get access to my Contacts and emails were being sent from my account.

Anyone can send you emails if they have your email address, so I'm inclined to think (hopefully) it's probably the first theory. :-(

Hello Jem .I get a few but nothing like your amount. I just delete .have won points on supermarket shop ? bank account been compromised ? win money ? Can you not get on to your service provider & get them blocked .maybe change your password .hope someone can help Barbra x

Edited... WARNING! Please read posts further down this page

I have a GMail account.

All of a sudden up to 100 emails a day are going into the Spam section, from what look like legitimate sites (ie Aldi, M&S, British Airways etc)
It has never happened before!


Any ideas? :-S :-S :-S



I have not opened any of them and deleted up to 1,000 in the last few days.
The first line of one from "Costco" says ...."Your historical purchase has brought you here to receive £150 from us. COSTCO.COM.UK. Dear ....." :-0 :-0 :-0
