I wonder, is your Gmail inbox separated into primary, promotions, social and updates?
Yes, all these scam emails are going into the spam folder. I rarely get a scam email in my regular inbox. I don’t use email for anything but notifications really, so no need to make multiple folders. I get more scam emails than legitimate emails.
