I probably get hundreds of emails a day, all day because of this issue.
I am still receiving these communications in my personal inbox on a daily basis.
Every time its someone trying to sell their "services" in marketing or 'optimization'.
my gmail is flooded in spam i get emails every day
In the last 20days I’ve received 100+ emails with the same theme. “Great store”, “what if I bring in more sales”
