Lately I've been getting some very repetitive and annoying spam mail. It goes to my spam folder but I always check it incase someone's email came to spam. Anyways I'm receiving emails such as....
•Financing
• dating
•insurance
•traveling
•some in appropriate dating/partner sites not sure what it is?

All these are repeats, automated.

Anyways this is really annoying me and I don't like inappropriate stuff on my email? I don't care if its spam, I just don't want it.

What if IT departments see this? This is my point, spam isn't professional. Not even sure why I am targeted?

Internet marketers do not care who you are. They just send thousands of email hoping somebody will respond. I would just ignore what goes into your spam folder.

Many things that send spam base it off websites you visited. Others scan your emails for words that relate to things. So if you sent email about shoes, It might have sent you shopping spam mail. Many mail providers block spam off what you mark as spam. Outlook has a tool to clear everything from an email and prevents future spam from that email.
