Gmail spam 15:18 - Aug 21 with 1197 views

Do many TWTDers use gmail and if so have you, like me, suddenly started getting tons of spam whilst emails that are important go to the spam inbox?
I enjoy a Nigerian scammer as much as the next man but it’s gone nuts the last couple months.

Yes I use Gmail. No recent spam emails received but some ITFC stuff going to spam.

I use GMail, no problems with important emails being routed to spam, no problems with spam turning up in the inbox.

My only gripe is that there have been a lot fewer offers of sex from random women in my spam recently, which is a shame, those emails give me a lift after a hard day at work.

I have exactly the opposite problem

Gmail (my secondary acct. which I opened c. 2009) very rarely attracts spam, though I use it almost daily.

My hotmail.com acct. (my primary email which I've been using daily since about 1995) has been getting steadily worse for the past year - something like approx 100 spam emails daily, 75% of which are phishing.

I had to get a 'front cover' (false email address which hides the real one) because I had over 140 reports in a month of people all over the world from Thailand to the USA via Spain trying to hack my account - (notifications came via 2-step verification).

Most of the spam is from casinos telling me of my "free spins" & "welcome package" - can get 10 identical ones of those in 2 minutes, tho I've never played online casinos in my life. Presumably at least one of 3 bookies that I used in the past for betting on horseracing had their database/s hacked.

Hotmail seem completely incapable of doing anything about it.
