    So I recently emailed a Spanish speaking friend (in English) and shortly after I got some spam in Spanish. It was the usual stuff about a rich guy in Africa who wants to give me money. Thing is I never got Spanish spam before. I never get spam of any kind actually. Any explanation? Has it something to do with my Spanish speaker?

    Maybe they have some malware?

    Either you or your target may have a malware issue.

    What anti-virus/ security tools are you running?
    I'd recommend a download of Malwarebytes and running a scan to start with.

    Maybe let them know about it. You could also setup a new email account and sent them an email to test it, see if that account get spam
