Answer 1

hey matey everyone on yahoo is getting them in some form. its from several sources that they can't latch onto because they are changing all the time. they usually say stuff like

NAME
Kinna Wesson RE.TIP438
Jules mullion. Hi
Rachael frisson Hello.

Etc. that kind of format with strange last names. the best thing to do is just ignore your bulk folder just delete them matey.. WHATEVER YOU DO. DO NOT OPEN THEM...

same goes for anyone else who gets email like this in their bulk folder also look out for emails from visa or a credit card agency with a paper clip symbol next to the,. they are also spyware tracker scams... good luck!

You have gotten yourself on a spammers mailing list. Spammers buy, sell, and trade these lists. If you get on one list, it doesn't take very long and you will be on many lists. Your problem is bound to get worse.

Email is directed to it's destination by the information contained in the mail message header. You usually don't see this information when viewing the message.

Most of this information in the message header can be easily forged. It is VERY common practice for a spammer to do this to conceal the origin of his trash. This is why you see so many strange name in the From address of your message. This information is gererated from the spamming programs.

You can go into your Yahoo! email options and enable the Spam protection. This may help some.

I have 2 email addresses personal use.
The first one is what I call my throw-away address. I use this address whenever I am required to register an address on a website. I also give this to a few friends who I don't trust with securing my email address. This address gets slammed with dozens of SPAM messages a day. But I don't care, that's what it's there for. I just go into it every few days and delete all the trash.

The other email address I only give to my closest friends and family.

Never reply or opt-out of a SPAM message. This only validates your address to the spammer.

Sorry to say, the SPAM problem is only going to get worse for everyone

A spam blocker is the only way to get rid of these, once they find a genuine mailbox they just keep sending. I'm guessing that you put your real email address on the 'net somewhere so they know it's real. Either do a search for 'Spam blockers' and get one for your computer, or ask your ISP to do something about it at their end.

If the e-mail is coming from an similar digital mail manage for all time it means that Yahoo isn't thinking the message as junk mail. that is because the corporate has contacted Yahoo and informed them that what they deliver out isn't junk mail and does not violate any junk mail guidelines. with the intention to fix this concern you and everybody else who receives this similar message desires to not open the message and immediately away deliver it for your junk mail folder. If the e-mail is originating from a Yahoo account they many times delete the person because that is a contravention of Yahoo's anti-junk mail guidelines. if you're quite knowledgeable of Yahoo's valuable factors you may upload this senders digital mail manage for your black list which will block this person from sending you digital mail. you may attempt this by clicking on thoughts-Mail thoughts then click on the junk mail link on the left area. there's a characteristic said as "upload a blocked manage" enter the senders digital mail and click upload manage. That digital mail received't arrive on your digital mail again, except that is disbursed from a diverse digital mail account. desire those options help you.
