When I said you’d be surprised how much they track you, I meant G-Mail/Google. I found all these files in my documents that I didn’t recognize, like one called Take Out Menus. I knew I didn’t make a file like that, and looking at it, it was information tracking my movements. I researched it, turned out to be Google. You can go in and turn tracking your movements off in settings, but they don’t make it easy.
I did shut the old email down, after watching it for awhile to make sure none of the companies I had changed my email over to had gotten the new email. Once it seemed good I cancelled it. I guess what I meant by not doing any good is that I still got emails from the spammer on my new email, that I had opened after I found out that my identity had been hacked. So how they got the new one I don’t know. Password was different on new email.
I report all spam to reportphishing@apwg.org, reportphishing@tmobile.com,(my cell phone provider)
reportphishing@apple.com and spam. (772-6) If the company named is one I know wants to get a copy of the text/email, I’ll send it to their phishing text site. UPS, Amazon, Apple are a few of the big ones that want you to send it to them. After that I click the report junk and delete on the text menu, when it says it doesn’t recognize the number.
Who knows if it does any good, but at least I’m doing something.
