I get a lot more spam than I used to. I never used to get any. Some woman called Sadie keeps telling me she enjoyed our last conversation on facebook and thinks I'm really sexy. At least she's not after my money

I keep getting a phone call (well, voicemail because I don't answer) about a Caribbean Cruise I won. If I don't claim it soon, I'll lose my chance. It's been going on over a month, I wish I'd lose my chance already. Also it says if I want to stop receiving the call, to call whatever number to be put on their no call list, but that sounds like a trap to me.

I would rather get junk mail than bills. The land line, yes, I am old and have one, goes to the machine. You talk or I don't answer. My cell is old as well, so I just ignore it unless I know the number. hell, I can work out with my cell phone it is so old.. But my old plan is still 12 bucks a month.... They have offered me the world to update it.. Nope, I like that cell, weapon/barbell size phone

I keep getting a notice saying my factory warranty is about to expire on a van I don't even own. The same company calls & offers me an extended warranty service contract for my truck. When I say I already have one, they try to hype theirs up by asking when mine expires. I tell them "it expires the day I die or the day I sell my truck". I work for dodge & drive one. With employee discount, I got a smoking deal on a lifetime warranty.

My dad seriously mails coupons (even expired ones) back in their pre addressed envelopes.

You can sue the bastards if you are registered on the national do not call list.

Mark the offending mail return to sender so they have to deal with it. Sometimes that is enough to make them stop.

Try Googling your main Email accounts to see which ones have been compromised...if they have been, you'll see a link but you can only view it via Google Cache and from there you will have to browse through a huge list of emails. My main personal Gmail account has been but it doesn't matter since I have plenty of Security protocols in place along with that my account is still a Alpha/Beta account so all junkmail goes to spam plus some other features and I have never had telemarketers call me nor weird calls period.

That might just be because they're calling from an internal phone network where either all numbers are the same, the number is always random, or no number can show

Sometimes I get those as well, along with "000-000-0000" on my landline phone
