Unfortunately there is constant spam email from predatory conferences once you are listed in a department website. They are pretty easy to spot because you never heard of the conference or the organizer, it is often not related to what you actually do, doesn't come from an academic email address, and containes lots of bolded words and exclamation points.
Here is the subject line and the first few lines from a recent email.
