I’m getting several emails from PayPal. Discard them. They are scams.

Someone has sold my Yahoo email address to what I swear is every company in the world.
For the past few days, I have been inundated with messages from dating services, debt consolidation companies, insurance companies, travel consolidators, medical device companies and the like. Hundreds of them.
I have to keep classifying them as "spam" so that it blocks the sender but new ones keep pouring in.
What a mess!

I lost my Yahoo email account years ago in like fashion. I just gave up and deleted it altogether.

Thank you for the heads up Ken. I Don't have a landline and my cell identifies scam (spam) callers as such 99% of the time. I'd never give personal information like that over the phone to a cold caller anyway. Boy, scammers sure are busy aren't they?!

I got a call/message today asking if I had received my new Medicare card and if not to call…
I rarely bother to answer the telephone or respond to the messages.
This is one of the huge shifts in my lifetime, I used to enjoy talking with family and friends now we just swap instant messages on FB.

I got my new card in mail yesterday....
They write. In my experience.
I spent most of yesterday sorting out my email settings and online banking ….. 
I’ve got my security set up to text me of any suspicious activity and in the last 3 days I’ve received a total of ..214. ….TEXTS ….OMG ..no wonder I went to bed with a whopping headache last night….
The texts alerted me I’d requested to change my password for my email and bank “ settings “ …..NO …I DIDNT
The texts supply a one off number to log into your account ….so the SCAMMERS…were obviously saying …
“ forgot password “ so I’m alerted …they are trying to log into my accounts
Let’s hope …I’ve sorted it all out …PHEW …I’m always very careful ..it’s the very first time I’ve EVER… HAD any thing like this
what a pain changing lots of settings including my passwords ….I use a iPad so normally the security is good
…I looked Up my search history and apparently I took a trip to China / Belgium /France
in the last 3 days my log on attempts from those countries were
China 567 times / France 790 times / Belgium 567 times
