It all gets caught, so not an issue.

But is anyone else experiencing a huge rise in fake courier or postal delivery emails?

Maybe it's just me - but I am getting easily 20 a day... all tracking number type mails. Odd. It used to be Nigerian Finance Ministers, now it's 'FedEx'.

It varies. My 'junk' folder was the same a few months ago, now it's full of 'new automatic trader bot' emails promising me easy ways to lose earn several hundred euros a day. In another couple of months it will be something else.

Luckily the gmail filters are pretty good.

Yes. Tons of stuff through Yahoo.

I don't really use Yahoo email any more but retain it for the odd blast from the past.

Nothing with gmail.

My spam has gone from promising me a larger gentleman's sausage, to billions being transferred from a Nigerian military figure who has just died to now FedEx/DPD/Post Office wanting me to click on a tracking link.

I want to go back to the sausage emails.

I love it. In a sandwich with tomato or fried with beans.

Sound perfect after a night on the town. Pray tell there is a doner kebab shop next door?

But yes, since the pandemic, there has been a noticeable uptick of these delivery spam msgs.
