I get all kinds of email.  Secret ways to get rich, get rich in real estate and spend none of your own money, Esq Andover represent prince Aswabhsi, make motivated sellers call you, secret to FSBO conversion and Donald Duck.

Donald Duck is convertible.

We all have public profiles in many venues, spam is inevitable.

Yes, LOL. Someone has contacted me wanting to gift me $4,000,000 since they have no heirs. I can't believe anyone would fall that old trick or scam.

50 min a day. If one is in real estate business expect to get that many. Ever sold a home to a scammer?

Yes, quite a few lately.  Caroline has been contacting me a few times.  Nothing you or AR can do to block it for now, unless AR's coders figure out a way to do a spam check on the contact forms to block the email address she uses.
