emily6822 & emily_[samelastname]

I got three Instagram notifications very close to one another last week.   They were obviously name changes to one account.   Nothing was in them.  I removed my email address.

I can put together an interesting narrative with all the weird emails I've gotten lately.   The most recent one is from Snapchat.   I imagine that this Emily (if all accounts are created by the same person) originally needed a new email account.  She wanted to participate in illicit activities on Snapchat, which later led to the need for medical advice (no matter how sketchy).   Those activities are discovered by her partner, and now she in need of a divorce lawyer.   Yup. I've definitely worked this all out.

Square receipt for a Lawyer

This morning I got an emailed receipt for legal services from an attorney in Oklahoma.   I have never heard of a lawyer using Square payments before.   It was a large bill too.   $500.   I was able to disassociate the account from my email address. I also have the other Emily's last four digits for her credit card.   

Curely, again

Another email from Curely.   This latest Emily sure is bent on getting health advice.   Unsubscribed.

I've worked with urologists, and the following is definitely not the way to clean a kidney:

"Dear friends

Cleaning kidneys with less than $1

Years pass by and our kidneys are filtering the blood by removing salt, poison and any unwanted substance entering our body. With time, the salt accumulates and this needs to undergo cleaning treatments.

How are we going to do this?
It is very easy, first take a bunch of parsley and wash it clean.

Then cut it in small pieces and put it in a pot and pour clean water and boil it for ten minutes and let it cool down and then filter it and pour in a clean bottle and keep it inside refrigerator to cool.

Drink it regularly to keep our kidneys clean."

Unsubscribed.

Free-eBooks.net

I got an email this morning about an online company that lets you read 5 e-books every month for free in any format.  This does sound like something I would sign up for.  However, this email was in Spanish.  There wasn't an unsubscribe button.  Fortunately for me, I was able to log into the English version of the site and close down the account.
