I get a lot of spam. In the subject it might say something about Home Warranty. The sender will say Home Warranty (the actual sender will be randomwords@randomwords.com).

But whenever I use my email’s search engine, to delete all emails that say “Home Warranty”, it can’t find them.

Do people usually just ignore these types of emails?

Oh, that makes a lot of sense.

Actually, I just tried that for a bit. They’re putting random zero-width spaces. So none of the words are actually full words.
