Everything I buy online follows with emails even when I've told them I don't want their "special" offers. I unsubscribe, but it takes a while to be removed. <br /><br />The online market trackers also drive me nuts. Every ad I see reflects one of my recent purchases. So, like how many electric blankets do I need. If I already bought one, of course I want to buy a dozen more?<br /><br />I love when women write me love notes. My email address gives no clue as to my sex. But I think women are about 53% of the populations. So--right off the bat, they will be wrong 53% of the time. I don't know the gay percentage of women, but even if it is 3%, they will be wrong half the time. It's free so they don't care. <br /><br />It all clogs our in-boxes and junk folders.E. B.

I also received an email informing me that I've been selected for a free psychic reading.

When I was having a lot of trouble with pop ups for awhile, I got messages from some dating service I'd never signed up for and no interest in one to tell me about nice women in my area. What!!! And then there are those things in my junk mail about Viagra. Really! And the perky sounding woman on the phone who starts out with "Congratulations, you won . . ." before I hang up on her. And of course the tons of junk mail some even promoting a funeral director. Thank you very much, but that will be taken care of by others someday. <br /><br />Warren, I do think those of us of a certain age get more of these scammers because they think we're a. senile b. gullible or c. have huge stashes of money. The sad part is how often I read in the newspaper about the elderly falling for some of these scams.<br />One more what I consider a scam is by some so called reputable charities when I get: "Final Notice" in big red letters on the outside of the envelope. Like they are never going to try to get money from me again????Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-25289423660075049502015-01-30T08:36:06.815-05:002015-01-30T08:36:06.815-05:00Golly Gee, KM.
