I have been getting some really wierd e mails and i know they are scams.what do i do?who do i forward them to?

Question

They are from foreign countries and they want my personal info.they say i won money and a bunch of really unbelievable stuff.i have not answered any of them.is there anywhere i can forward them to?

Answer 1

use the email headers to identify who's server they originated on and then send the entire mail with headers included to [e-mail]. I send a lot to [e-mail] and the accounts are cancelled for tos violation. If the mail server will not do anything just block their entire domain.

Answer 2

It's really frustrating. There should be a national database where these e-mail accounts are shut down and the IP addresses tracked down to the loser's home. But, unfortunately, there really isn't anything you can do. No law enforcment really takes this stuff seriously. Just delete it.

Answer 3

I have been getting them too. Most of them are from people abroad telling me that someone has died and they want me to claim ownership of the account. They want you to fly to a foreign country to claim money. I send an email back to them and tell them that I will do it if they pay for my expenses up front. I never hear back from them.

Answer 4

I wouldn't forward them, just delete them and block that address.

Answer 5

DO NOT ANSWER THEM !It's most likely a hacker trying to get your information to steal your id.

Answer 6

why would you sand to forward this "scam", as you realized it was one?

Answer 7

just spam them

Answer 8

just delete them, i get those dumb things, too.
