All of a sudden, I am receiving so much more email. It’s crazy!!! Don’t know what I did, if anything, to cause this. I don’t open anything that I don’t know and don’t want. I don’t open emails that have been forwarded a million times before it got to me, etc. So, can someone tell me what to do about this? Thanks a bunch.
I receive junk mail all the time, how come it’s not sent to my bulk email. Then once I mark an email spam & still continue to get the same email from the same persons. I thought once marked spam it is then blocked.
Im not emailing spam ofcourse, just monthly emails to my clients who have agreed to recieving emails from me, however, emails that i sent out, automatically end up in their junk mail, so many of my clients dont get to see it.
How can I stop this one outfit from sending me 5 to 10 emails aday of spam in my inbox even after I’ve spent two weeks trying to get them to stop,thay even emailed me saying thay would,but did not.
I have a regular email address that I use everyday for regular emails from subscriptions and from casual friends. I have another that I don’t use that much and was planning on closing it. I get a lot of Nigerian 419 and lottery scam emails on a weekly basis and I report them to abuse@yahoo.com soon afterwards.
On a lark, I decided to check to see if the Yahoo accounts that the scammers were using had been shutdown, so I put all the email addresses into my other account (the one I don’t use) and sent a little note to all of the scammers who had contacted me.
To my surprise, most of the email addresses were still active, including the Yahoo accounts. I know this because the emails didn’t bounce-back to me. Yahoo seems to have the largest number of active scammer addresses and I had reported all of them. I reported them a second time and, still, most of them are still active! If Yahoo is serious about stopping scammers from using Yahoo Mail, why don’t they shut them down?
I’ve reported every single scam email sent to me. Blocking them from my Inbox doesn’t shutdown the address being used to run the scam.
I have been receiving e-mails from the mayor of a city I used to live in. I have told him repeatedly to stop sending me e-mails and to remove me from his list, but he refuses to comply. He also publishes the full email addresses of people he sends them out to, which gets me put on other email lists. Is there any action I can take against him, legal or otherwise, to reprimand him for his actions?
Think about it….if we all hit ‘reply’ and and ask for more information would the spammers not be overwhelmed with emails such that they would not be able to filter their marks from the ‘reply spam’.
That is the conventional wisdom, however, I never respond to spam yet I still get tons of spam. Maybe we need to rethink that strategy?
I keep getting emails that contain random long messages of a similar layout, but the sent from address, is different everytime. This means i can’t put the address in the spam filter because it is different each time. It’s more of an annoyance than anything. Please help.
