I'm getting weird emails?

I get a couple weird emails everyday. The subject says they are from Yahoo. It says something like "Yahoo Report KGNAI317NAOETH#@!4311" (okay, maybe not exactly like that, but it says Yahoo Report and then it has a bunch of letters and numbers next to it). What are they and why am I getting them? Also, how can I stop them (whoever is sending them) to quit sending them to me? I got 3 of them this morning and it's really annoying. Thanks!

    After you open the email, click on your spam button. It will send a report to Yahoo to filter that type mail.

  • There probably phishing. Where they are claiming to be an affiliated source and there not. Don't ever give them any information. If you click spam this will put them on a blocked list and they will not be able to come into your inbox anymore. If somehow they do you may want to report them to yahoo to escalate the problem and they can build a fix for them. :)

    You mention what is in the subject bar but not in the rest of the email?? Could be a virus. If you recieve anymore don't open them just block the address so you won't get anymore or place them in the spam folder.
