How can I keep the Congratulations.. Your a winner from popping up . Do not receive on email.. only when I try to SEARCH
Remove unknown or unwanted apps from your mobile. There may be an app that is generating the popups.
Does anything happen if you just click the link but don’t give any information? If so? What should I do. I clicked on it and then realized my mistake and got right back out in second? How did they get my email to keep sending me these emails? Also, is there anyway to stop them from displaying in my inbox and/or get them to stop completely?
Just clicking the link will not affect you.Try flagging the emails as spam so they are automatically sent to your Spam/Junk folder.
I have been deleting the nonsense pop ups but they just reappear 2-4 times a day.
How do I get rid of "congratulations you have just won?
Is it showing up on your phone?
Yes, it’s showing up on my phone.
