spam

I woke up this morning to what I can only describe as an advertisement placed in the widget side of my StandBy screen. Until this morning, standby has only ever shown me my schedule. I haven’t intentionally customized it. It is essentially in the default mode that came with iOS17. Has anyone...

A friend, using her Mac email, signed up to the iclarified newsletter. She no longer wants to receive it. Unfortunately she cannot remember her user name - this is required to change / unsubscribe. But despite many attempts to contact iclarified support via the contact form and a found support...

I'm still using my iPhone 7 Plus, but I'd buy an iPhone 14 in a nanosecond if they had a feature to eliminate the massive amount of daily SPAM I receive via text messaging.

The ONLY thing I get bothered about while using this super-fast M1 computer is Safari Suggestions and Favourites Touch Icons. 1. I open MacRumours website 17 times a day. But even if there is an accidental popup of Macpaw opening from a spam website, every time I type "mac" in the address bar...

Does Apple Mail's 'Move to Junk' tell the Mail Server the mail is Spam? My email is hosted with Fastmail, which uses machine learning to train the server as to what I think is spam in addition to any built-in spam filters. In their email Web GUI, I have a "mark as spam" button the moves...

I got one of those USPS scam messages and I’m stupid I thought someone actually just put the wrong number until I looked it up and found out it’s a scam... I’m sick and really out of it right now and I was dumb enough to respond saying they had the wrong number Anyway I accidentally clicked the...

Is there some online service dedicated in doing the job that email clients cannot fulfil 100% ? That job is eradicating and blocking spam/phishing emails etc. that trying to trick people.

Not sure what's happening all of a sudden, I've been receiving a load of junk spam text messages that started hitting my phone over the weekend (some 202 area code, keeps calling me "David" - which is not my name!), So far 3 today..another one from GOP, and the Primary election in PA...smh!! I...

So, since past couple of days, my iPhone calendar is filled with SPAM links. I don't know how to get rid of it. Kindly help me remove it.

I'm looking around this forum, maybe I missed it, seeing if anyone else has this issue. I just happened to notice a red bubble "Notification" on my iMac's calendar, when I opened it - my entire week is filled up with this spam entry - it shows up on my iPhone as well. I have NO idea what this...

My dad recently received a suspicious text message (he has an Android phone) that he did not respond to but he asked me about. I attempted to forward the message to myself from his phone several times but the forwarded message refused to go through. Is this blocking ability inherent to the...

I didn’t think this was a specific iOS or MacOS question and figured I cannot be the only individual within the MacRumors community from experiencing this so here goes: Gmail has never giving me problems and in the past 12 years have yet to see a spam email creep into my inbox. Apple Mail...

Hi guys, I'm sure this is a stupid grumble because it's just as much of a pain for you guys to remove it, but the 30 second mandatory limit between reports is painful when reporting spam. I know you just need to report one bit of spam from one user to delete the whole account, but when it's...

This may not be the place to post this, so sorry mods in advance Anyways, this is where most of the spammy posts I see are conglomerated. Things like "resolved --****** then some sketchy link claiming to get you to lose 100lbs per day, etc" Is there anything macrumors can do about these? As...

Ever since I installed Mojave I have been barraged with emails from web-sites around the world (over 400) thanking me for signing up or requesting that I confirm my email address. For some reason these emails are not being filtered by the gmail junk routines. Please help! Inundated Mac User

Not sure which blog site I found this on, but a week in an it appears a flurry of spam\phishing emails being sent to my .me account, and .me alias are all but gone. I was getting 3-5 emails per day about "my account", things like email failed to send, problem with account or login, pictures...

Hi there so I have been putting this off for years and now I just want to get this fixed once and for all. How do I enable the junk folder in my yahoo account to be available so I can obviously forward spam into it? It’s been grayed out ever since I got my first iPhone. I been reading up that...

I know there are several ways to reject an incoming phone call. But I can't seem to find a way to fully reject a call and also keep the caller from going to my voicemail. This is mainly for the several spam calls I get every day. Blocking numbers is not an option because the calls always come...

I've had this strange feeling that something is reporting my email address when I visit websites.Here's what's happening: I'll go to the MSNBC website and open a lot of tabs for the news items that interest me, and it seems that on some days, like yesterday, I will then get bombed with tons of...

Hi everyone! I've been developing Call Blocking application for iPhone, and I'd like to know any thoughts about it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wideprotect-call-blocker/id1171024059 The main idea is blocking phone numbers using prefixes, so you can block entire area code, for example, or...
