All spam goes to the spam box so I do not see it unless I access the spam box.
I last looked on February 2. Since then, there have been 50 spam messages.
Here is one of them.

I had no idea so many of my mates were mutual friends with Nigerian princes trying to offload millions of dollars into my bank account every other month.
@Bretrick If you are referring to spam in your e-mail. then what about operating a green list so that you only receive mail from known and trusted senders.
Exactly the same as me. Have a look occasionally.
I seem to be lucky going by the money that keeps getting thrown at me.
If only some of that luck would seep over into the real world.
I do not receive any junk mail, scam mail or Spam, to my personal email address, thank goodness.
I have a separate “junk” email address which I use for random online registrations and purchases. It is not linked to anything personal, so I can just close it if it ever becomes compromised or gets to be a nuisance and start up a new junk email account.
That junk mail account is full of junk Mail, mostly ads from companies I have dealt with and 3rd party Spam from their associates. I only log on to that email account to retrieve an email relating to something I have just ordered or registered for. I just ignore the rest of the unread junk mail, which eventually gets dumped into oblivion.
I get very little junk mail because I don’t buy anything online, and when they ask for my email address to send a receipt to in the real world, I tell them that I’m not computer literate…
Sometimes a genuine email gets identified as Spam in error and put into your junk folder, so it’s worth checking
I’ve had that a couple of times with tickets I’ve bought online and websites I’ve signed up to
