It’s been going on for months and no matter how many I mark as spam and block they keep coming back with new numbers!

Makes me wonder if someone signed me up for something

    How is this not illegal, but sending spam emails is? What a messed up world.

      Illegal in Australia. Obviously doesn’t stop scammers though, but most everything else.

        Regrettably, political parties are exempt from the DNC Register, even in Australia.

        “Registered charities, educational institutions calling students, government bodies and registered political parties are exempt and are allowed to make telemarketing calls to numbers on the register”

          Oh, didn’t know. Guess they realise it’s bad PR. Can’t say I’ve ever had much more than mail drops.
