Since joining AARP - collossal amounts of SPAM.

Relatively quiet, spam-wise, before joining.

 

Since last Thursday: roughly 148 spams.

 

Nerve repair, hearing loss, timeshare stuff, nutrisystem, I've won a phone, I've won a gift card...

 

So much that my email app (Apple Mail) is starting to flag non-spam emails that used to end up in their correct folders.

 

Recap: 148 spams since last Thursday.

Coincidence?

I mean, I've already deleted like 45 that came through since last night, but figured I'd share.
Beginning to believe that AARP makes more money selling user data than subscriptions.

154 in the past six days.

 

Can't help but notice not a lot being said by anyone at AARP.

This is what happens when the Personnel Department is renamed to Human Resources.

 

...We're just another resource to be exploited.

 

...yes, had a similar experience...it has tapered off.

84 more since Friday.

Must be a nice bit of bonus income for someone.
