If you are getting spam in your inbox and not in your spam folder and you can’t figure out how it’s happened or how to unsubscribe from it watch this video. This is the new approach spammers are taking to spam you and successfully get to your inbox using Google Groups. I am not condoning this approach to spam people, I’m just letting you know how and why it’s making it’s wait to your primary inbox.
Wow, I had no idea Google groups were still active. I’ll have check this out an make sure I’m not in any unwanted groups. Thanks, Sandra!
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Thank you for the useful tip, Sandra. This has happened to me more than once and I had to actually write to the Group owner to remove me. A quick question, would this also work if the email the spammer is using is not a Gmail email id? Just want to cover all my bases.
They could use any email address really, but mostly gmail addresses are being hit. 🙁
