Does anyone else keep getting wierd emails?

It is hard to say how they got your address. Could be random, could be that you entered your address for something and they purchased the email address list. They are a scam. It usually ends up that they request money for a sick family member, usually a child, or some other bogus excuse.

Do not open them. Do not respond to them in any way.To do so only is verifying they have reached an active account and the numbers of emails will only increase. Send them to SPAM and delete them. Add their address to your Blocked Addresses list if you are receiving them often.

Yup,

You, a friend or a web site you visited were careless with your email address. Or, a spammer made up an address and was plain lucky.

The spammer is so-called because they sent you and usually a large number of others the same unsolicited rubbish or spam. In this case the spammer wants to lull you into a false sense of confidence before asking for money to get some poor helpless person out of the country of their birth where they are being persecuted for some trivial reason.

They will claim to be a child, of old age, a woman or a combination with some link to a criminal politician in Africa. Occasionally, they claim to be a Pretty russian girl looking for love. In actuality, the sender is probably some fat african male sat at a computer in Nigeria.

You can have fun with them, though this is not recommended as you do not know how much they know about you.

You best option is to read the help/faqs/tutorials that Yahoo provide.

hi in case you log onto Macromedia homestead internet site and seek for tutorials on ASP, there are easily an excellent type of them. I even have been down an identical highway yet chosen to apply very own homestead page, there are much extra ASP tutorials than very own homestead page ones obtainable.

It's spam, most of the time most people tell you not to reply, but I found that since I started to reply with:

"Seriously? What sort of idiot falls for this?

If you contact me again, I'll pass your e-mail onto the police. I don't appreciate fraudsters trying to steal my hard-earned money from me.

Have a nice life."

The amount of spam emails I've gotten has significantly reduced, in fact I haven't seen one in days, possibly weeks.

It is called phishing. It is spam and scam, they are trying to get your personal information, Identity thief. Delete them.
