Are any of you getting these emails from "Emergencyemail.org" ?

It's an emergency weather alert that I NEVER signed up for, afaik. Yes, I'm a weather geek but I damn sure did not sign up for this.

Anyone else ?

I get all kinds of junk notices, such as from FedEx, voicemail (which I do not have), etc. I block them each time, but they seem to come back from a slightly different address.

I haven't seen that one you mentioned yet!

I remember a few months ago, I got one from my insurance company. It looked suspicious, so I showed my husband and he said it was a spoof.
