Recently, out of no where, I have gotten tons of Junk mail...
Recently, out of no where, I have gotten tons of Junk mail. I have never had this problem before because I don't give my email out. And now... it seems my email was sold to like 20 companies and even though I keep unsubscribing to all of them, they keep sending me more and more. How can I stop this?

Its probably email spoofing.
Someone is doing that with my sisters email, but instead they use yahoo instead of gmail 
I've tried to block it, won't work. Delete the email, make a new one, and tell your friends and family about the new one

What email do you use? Is it AOL? Because if you use that you get a bunch of spam in general, not just email spoofs

Yahoo but I have a private email so I don't understand why it happens. It started about a week and a half ago
Is it an E-Mail that you used to sign up to any websites with?

Doesn't matter, did you sign up to any websites with it?

I get that a lot. I just add it to junk. Why would it block you from junking emails? That's what the junk button's for!

Re: Recently, out of no where, I have gotten tons of Junk mail...
This happened to me X( was the most annoying thing ever... I'd check my email like every day and I'd have 60 new messages from spam websites.. Some of them were scams aswell like "Youre cheque is waiting" ??? I turned the spam filter on , on my email and it still didn't work so I just had to change my email address

If you have a yahoo, filter into spam, and if you don't want to think of it, just have spam automatically delete the emails. I'm not sure about other email services though.
