I think that department has already had a stroke.
For the last month or so, on a daily basis, I have been getting the same spam messages (subject line: "You've been chosen”) in my inbox, often classified as important. No amount of reporting them as spam seem to help.
However, what ended up in my spam folder are emails from Amazon informing me about winning $100 in their sweepstakes. (When I found them it was too late to claim the prize as confirmed by Amazon's rep.)
I get that spam is hard, but weighing an account owner's signals more than other signals seems like a good strategy. (And if it is not, please do correct me!)
- lupire 4y ago> Amazon informing me about winning $100 in their sweepstakes. Is this for real?
- danuker 4y agoEnter your credit card details to find out.
- dr_kiszonka 4y agoYup. Look up: Small Business Prime Day 2022 Sweepstakes
- emptyparadise 4y agoMeanwhile my mailbox decided to send every single email to spam.
- sebzim4500 4y ago>Amazon informing me about winning $100 in their sweepstakes Are you joking? Surely this is not something that exists.

- mFixman 4y agoI have been getting those emails too, and I noticed that they get automatically send to spam ~5 minutes after I receive them. I seem to be getting a spam email of this kind almost every day for the last ~6 months. Maybe the spammer found a way to prevent fingerprinting by Google and each batch of emails only gets automatically marked as spam after so many people manually mark it?
- nfca 4y agoIt has been the same for me. A small but noteworthy fraction of legitimate emails go to Spam and illegitimate emails come into Inbox; in spite of marking "spam" or "not spam" multiple times.
