Hi, I have a problem with my email. I have been getting a lot of spam but it looks like its from different places. They are the ones that tell that someone in nigeria died and he/she had a lot of money and someone needs to transfer it to america. I am really tired of these emails. Is there a way to stop these emails.
I have sent these to the spam section but they come from different addresses so it won't catch it. I would appreciate any help, thank you for you help.
Sorry I don't know if it's from Nigeria, but it says there are from there.
It says its from there but it's a big ol scam. If you want to check out in the computers for beginners forum and search through helpful programs at the top for spyware removal programs, av's and such for extra protection. That or go to www.mozilla.org and get the thunderbird email program which has a intelligent spam filter. Now some may say I'm pushing it but it actually is good, good luck, and do not by any means agree to any stuff like that, sounds good but usually ain't, and most of the time isn't.
Unfortunately, once your name gets on these lists, there is little you can do but try to filter them. There are several spam filters that will analyze not just the sending address (which is usually spoofed anyway) but the content to determine if its spam. Do some research on 'spam filtering' to find information about blocking the junk.Quote:
