    I don’t have access to your email man. That’s not something that has anything to do with us. sorry.

    If you by chance clicked on one of them, that might be the reason. Just like anytime you search for an item or part, you will start getting emails about that item. At least that's what I think may have happened. Ron

    this behavior is not from us. We don’t track at all. Could be from Google however…

    Sounds like common spam. Most email programs have a learning phase so that when you mark an item as spam, the next time similar worded emails will go to a spam folder. Just mark them as spam instead of deleting them, and the program should start putting them in that separate folder.

    are you talking email or are you talking about private messages here? If it is your personal email the sign of being hacked is that people in your address book start getting spam emails from you. Is this happening? If it is you need to change your email p***word. If not and you are just getting a bunch of junk email, simply mark them as spam and they will go to your spam folder in the future
