How do i get rid of these lotto e-mail scams i receive every day?

Answer 1

You can't; once your address is on the scammers lists it gets circulated among them. Have at least 2 e-mail addresses; one comes with your isp address which you never give out unless you have to, treat it like an ex-directory phone number. The second is your open address which you give out to friends and relatives. But since people aren't very careful about pc security, eventually this address will leak out, at which point just set up a new one and dump the old one.
Change your options to block certain keywords but don't rely on that.
Never post your e-mail address on the web, there are programs called bots which trawl the web looking for them.
Also, spammers send out thousands of e-mails every day to test possible addresses to see if they are live and active. They use a program that generates every possible combination of letters and numbers; and they use lists of names.
Never, ever open an e-mail unless you can see who its from and know you want to hear from them. And always specify plain text as your option, never html. An e-mail that is written in html can contain a piece of java script that 'phones home' to let a scammer know the e-mail has been opened; as soon as they get that the address goes on the 'active' list and you'll never hear the end of it.
So opening the e-mail to send a rude reply is tempting but counter productive. They might not even have been sure that the address was real and in use before you did that.
And spamming the spammers is counter productive. Most spam is sent from pc's like yours without your knowledge; they are called 'zombie' pc's. If you want to put a stop to spam, just make sure that yours is not a zombie pc sending out spam without your knowledge.

I also received a verify in the mail for $2975.00 as a partial price for a sweepstakes drawing with Reader's Digest. The letterhead is from most suitable Lotto E-price Inc, with an handle from the Virgin Islands, notwithstanding the verify is from Dynamic economic Inc. with a Texas handle. there's a telephone decision to call, notwithstanding the decision is a few position in Canada - a 204 section code. My surprising wager is that this can be a rip-off. all people else have any advice on it?

Answer 5

Same way you get rid of all the ViAgRa emails - you don't. There's nothing really that you can do. They get thru any blocks you put up. And don't even bother emailing the FTC - they'll do nothing about any of it. Sorry.
