    e-mail abuse at your e-mail provider, for example abuse@hotmail.com. Don't screw around with abuse.

    Well, you don't say what they threaten, so it's hard to tell. If you feel as if they are truly threatening your life, and they are from someone you may know, you need to tell the police. Otherwise, report them to Yahoo or whomever your email carrier is.

    Spam is a marketing 'tool,' but threats are entirely a different matter. Save their addresses, paste their web pages into an email and report them.

    Scammers and spammers don't send threatening e-mail. Neither does a phisher.

    If you are getting threats over the internet in an e-mail, I suggest that you first print them all out, and SAVE THEM. take copies of the e-mails to your parents if you are a minor, and if not take them to the police. Let them know that you saved the e-mails also just in case they want to try to investigate them in any way.
