And how do I stop them?

I did a scan with the free Malwarebytes and it showed nothing.

I get spammed in my secondary email account, but not on the Mac itself.

They're notification alerts from a browser, probably from a rogue ad on a website that looked legit when you clicked allow.

Check Safari -> Settings -> Websites -> Notifications and look for anything out-of-place

Thanks. There was one listing that had no name that I switched to 'Deny'. I'll wait and see if that was the culprit.

I get them frequently and always mark them as junk. They still come.
