You opening them puts your computer at risk and just generates more. I just looked in one of my junk folders on my email and I have a ton of spam emails from websites that sound like what your husband is receiving. I have never visited any of those sites. I think your husband is innocent.

I get so many of these types of emails but most go to junk mail. They will always be addressed to me personally and I do wonder how they get my details but its spam and thats all. The best solution is to put it all into junk mail and never even open them. I would definitely choose to believe him unless his recent history or other acts make you think otherwise.

Handing over your email address

Email marketers have a tendency of trading email lists and promoting different offers to this data. So your husbands email could have been traded or sold to another email marketer. And this can be the explanation. Of course I wont lie, there is also the flip side.

Some dating sites like Match. Maybe it's time for the account owner to renew their subscription with match. As you can see the two are very different. The promo email could just be a marketing email and like i said it doesn't mean he was browsing some site. The owner of the email has to have signed up via a form or something along those lines for his email to get into the hands of the person that sending the email messages.

Things don't "just" happen.

Does Getting Porn Spam Mean You’ve Been Surfing Porn Sites?

It doesn't work that way. Of course without knowing more info about this email its hard to say. You just have to remember and go into detail about what kind of email it was for us to help you. Last edited by a moderator: Thank you for all the info. All I can remember is that the email was in his inbox.

spam emails and my husband!

I opened it up and clicked on it and it said that he could browse 26 singles in Erie Pa. I opened that up and it brought me to Facebook to sign in or up, I can not remember. I confronted him and he said that he has never been on Facebook or Match and was not looking. It is a company iPhone connected to his work computer. He said that that should have gone to junk mail but that it must have slipped through.

I am suspicious because Facebook came up. I think that he might have been on Facebook just browsing when he should not have been. Please answer all this the best that you can.

Facebook Login

Could he have just been on Facebook for news or sports and still have received an email from Match because he was on Facebook, or would he have had to been directly on Match? How did they find out where he lived? Would not he have had to enter an area code in order for them to have found singles in his area or can they find out that info anyhow?

Thank you and please reply as soon as possible. Diane Taylor , Oct 28, I think it was just a promotional email.

The reason they found out where your husband lives is most likely because YOU clicked on the ad. When you clicked on the ad it fired what is called a tracking pixel. In layman's terms this is technology used by email marketers. Anytime someone clicks on one of the images in the email is will send a report to the person sending the message. These reports can range anywhere from the geo-location, the IP address, the state, the browser Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer used when clicking on the image and a few other metrics can be recorded as well.

This is fairly common amongst big data marketers. It's a simple marketing tactic. Otheriwse look at the domain they are coming from and block them using your blocking facility on the email. Hot mail are good at filtering these out so although they do come through - they go straight to junk! I agree they are really annoying and I do take offence to them. If and when I get them I try to unsubscribe this sometimes works. I must assume you have some system on your computer to stop spam.

As I understand it if you go to your service provider and check your mail from there before it is downloaded to your computer this maybe a way of detering them. I guess I have not been that much help. Good Luck Have a good weekend. Log in to Toluna or. Please enter correct Toluna credentials. Share your opinions with the world.
