and phishing and how anyone benefits from doing it...
Someone in Nigeria posted at RS that they need more info abt me ... I got many private emails about it from people who say they do not want to post at RS at all ever. The only thing I can guess is that this person chose me because I post a lot so they are targetting people with high email traffic? I'm guessing they want email addresses so they can insert a virus or whatever to corrupt the email system of those addresses and all associated addresses that the person communicates with. But why???? I can't accept the idea that people do things for no reason so I'm thinkin g there is a reason that I'm not aware of....
Second question--- Is this why there are so few posts at RS? Many long time traders have told me they want to keep a "low profile" and wont' go near RS. Is it for the above reason ? I'[m trying to understand the hows and whys of all this.... 1|1| I do not post very much but I get 50 to 75 spam emails a day|ladywcats|gloria.neal2@aol.com|18:40:05|06/05/2019|

There is times when I have to (like today) delete 200 emails. Most of the emails are trying to give you money the others are trying to sell you something and some say you won something, but all want information. All emails have cookies and collect information about how and where you use computer.

It is not possible to block the emails because they come from so many accounts. But they start out the same on many emails. It is also hard to tell them to stop emailing you. It just does not do any good to tell them to stop.

Have a great day Gloria
