Email spam

Hello @Cecylia,
There are multiple reasons why you might start receiving a lot of spam emails. Some common causes include:
- Your email address has been added to a mailing list: One of the most common reasons for an increase in spam emails is that you may have been added to a mailing list. Mailing lists are collections of email addresses that are used to send out newsletters, promotional emails, and other marketing materials. Sometimes, these mailing lists are created without your knowledge or consent, and your email address is added to them without your permission.
- You clicked on a spam email: If you clicked on a spam email, even if it was by accident, you may have inadvertently confirmed to the sender that your email address is active, which can result in more spam being sent to you.
- Your email address has been shared publicly, leaked, or sold: When you sign up for a service or make a purchase online, you are often required to provide an email address. This email address may be collected and sold to third-party marketers who use it to send out spam emails.
- Weak spam filters: Finally, it is possible that your email provider’s spam filters are not strong enough to detect all the spam emails that are being sent to your inbox. Spam filters are designed to block unsolicited emails, but they are not perfect. Some spam messages may not be caught and end up in your inbox.
