Trust me, Sandie, 99% of my spam gets filtered as well. It's just that sometimes they come up with new schemes that it takes a while for the filters to catch on to.
As my email addresses have been online for so many years, I am on every spambot's list, I am sure. The other one I have been getting a ton of lately is "You could be on Deal or No Deal with Howie Mandell" - rearrange that headline however you want, I have gotten it. I never watch the show, maybe saw a few seconds of it once, and now every day I get a few of those! Why that one game show out of the myriad list of 'em, I have no idea, but it's the new "in" thing with spammers, I have found!
When you "unsubscribe," you are actually confirming to someone, somewhere that your email address works. So you'll get on more lists. I never "unsubscribe" from anything I didn't subscribe to in the first place. And for most "subscribe" things, I use a different email address as well!
