Wow, that's crazy. I've only been at this for about five days, but I haven't received any yet... knock on wood!

My suggestion is get Gmail and let them handle it, they do a great job.

You don't really even need to change it, just forward your emails to your Gmail account.

Same with me. Everytime you put you email address in for an offer you're going to get an email. Oh, be careful with the texting one if you don't have unlimited testing.

I just use two different emails.  One is Gmail and I use it for anything pertaining to FC and surveys and the other one I use for family & friends.  Gmail does do a great job filtering spam.

I have the same problem. Unfortunately belonging to many of these types of websites, that's what happens. I click on SOME of them to remove me from the mailing list. It cuts down for a while, then it gets up there again... it's a work in progress! lol

I actually have three different emails but I got the one from gmail just for FC.  Just seemed like good advice so that I wasn't having to deal with all of this in my personal email.

OldBuddy is right.  Gmail does a great job at keeping out the Spam.

Thanks Oldbuddy for mentioning GMail. I forwarded all my FC emails to Gmail and no spam! :notworthy:
