a call centre selling energy supplies have they started sending spam as revenge?
, my email account is being bombarded with thousands of SPAM emails from random addresses. They appear to be full of random text from random addresses and arrive at the rate of one every few minutes, sometimes more, .this followed after having a mild confrontation with a caller from tel 00154
which appeared to be a call centre. i wondered if it was a revenge as he was very angry. i wondered could a call centre have done this and what a strange number, where is the number located
There are more rhan 1000 ip addresses so far
this is a problem as i answer emails for a airport service and all are new customers so you have to see email to see if it is a quote request and all the emails say quote request

Never open, reply or unsubscribe to spam ( mail from people you dont know)
or your playing the game with them
They have tracking to know youre opening it. Youve confirmed you open &
read spam. Youre on the "the list" as a potential target.
Go to options on the inbox page, and filter out all mail except from your contacts.
If its in the spam folder already--thats where it should be & you shouldnt be.
Its a junk bin
You might have to close the address altogether now, as your address has now
been repeatedly sold to other spam networks. Sounds like you have spam bots

Im not sure, why youre talking to these people. They are spammers.
100,000 spam emails are sent out every second in the world.
It probably was revenge.
PS Wondering & curiosity can get you into deep trouble online.
Mom's advice, " dont talk to strangers" is more valid online than it was in the real world.
Many of these spammers are criminals. Fooling naive people out of trillions of dollars,
each year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_scam#Consequ...

I doubt it's the call centre. You said thousands of emails. An individual can't do that. I would say it is probably a virus. Change your settings to receiving mail only from contacts and everything else goes to junk. And make sure you never click on a link from someone you don't know.
