After a fairly quiet six months-or-so, I am suddenly getting a flood of SPAM from "******@agenciaidea.es".
I am talking around 50-per-day, and sometimes in batches of several within a few minutes.
They all have the same format, with purple writing at the top and the "advert" appearing as an image below.
Also, the "To:..." is never my email address, but a Hotmail address with a load of random letters (e.g. "******@hotmail.com").
Help!

I see now that this issue has been gone for about a couple weeks now, over the weekend now I am getting Spammed with a new one. Shows my email handle name @shakbar.com is the new one flooding my SPAM / JUNK folder....Wish these people would put as much time and energy they do doing this into a real JOB.
So the agencias junk emails stopped about 10 days ago for me. Great!
However, after that, I received many emails landing in my junk folder with obscure addresses. I was again overwhelmed.
After deleting these for a few days, it stopped altogether.
Now I'm back to normal with the usual 10 junk emails per day.
The junk mail seems to have slowed but I am having new issues with email.
Every day, when I sign in I get a message saying "Too many attempts.." and have to chance my password.
Sometimes it happens twice in one day.
And yes, why can't these people get real jobs?
Have you tried clearing your Cache?
thanks, but yes, every day, often twice a day
