spam emails, hundreds of them!
spam emails, hundreds of them!
Since last week I have started to get spam emails which I do not open. They are listed as spam and I delete them. It is emails asking to be forwarded. I was getting about 1 every minute now this morning I had 120 from last night, I informed Microsoft but is there any other correct steps for these or is the delete button the best option? The PC is only used by me and only for very few sites. thanks for help
Have you posted your email address on any forums? If so, go back and edit your posts to remove it - may be a bit late now, but it will stop your address being harvested again.
I take it you are talking about a hotmail account - in which case I don't think there is much you can do to control it, other than wait for microsoft to get their fingers out. Just keep deleting them.
BTW 120 is less than a tenth of my daily spam delivery...

I use a few email addresses for this exact reason. My Yahoo has spam all the time. Any time a site asks for email, it gets the Yahoo email.

Don't know about AOL, but both my personal email accounts offer limited spam filtering, and my work account we use a very good spam filtering service. I would have thought there would be a web control panel somewhere in which you can add keywords that cause messages to be quarantined if they contain them. Am sure someone else on here must use AOL and will be able to advise you.
G, dunno if you are talking about your home or business line, but have you tried the Telephone Preference Service. I signed up and I get very few unwanted phone calls now - those I get are usually from companies I do deal with, who seem to think it is their god given right to try and sell me more stuff.
Latest problem for me is young ladies turning up on the doorstep in the early evening who don't take no for an answer.... sadly they only want to sell me gas and electricity.

Rob, it's the home phone and I'm registered with the TPS and FPS.
I did 1471 and Googled the number and it came up with lots of results and said it was TalkTalk. I emailed TalkTalk and they said it would take 28 days to remove my number from their calling list.
