[Elecraft] OT-Junk Mail

[w7aqk]

Hi All,

In this day and age it is almost impossible to keep your lines of 
communication "pure"!  By that, I mean absent of any junk mail, anonymous 
callers, etc.  For eons my mail box has been a repository for all sorts of 
unsolicited junk.  Now my email addresses are being overrun as well, and 
even my phone keeps ringing with calls for all sorts of unwelcome sources. 
It's just about out of control!!!!

Well, I couldn't help saying some thing here because now I am getting emails 
from an outfit that identifies itself as "Elycraft"!!!  Fortunately, my spam 
filter seems to catch most of it, and separate it, but some of it sneaks 
directly into my regular mail.  Is anyone else getting some of this from 
that source?

The hardest to ignore are the phone calls.  And, there are a bunch of 
them!!!  They are also getting clever by usurping local numbers and area 
codes to make it look like they are not what they really are--trash vendors! 
Getting rid of them is also impossible.  If you block one, they just switch 
to a different number!!

I think this is a crisis!  Anyone else agree?
