I had one from Nigeria and another from some other foreign country promising 20% of millions of dollars if I could provide information so they can put money in US accounts etc. You'd have to be extremely dumb to fall for this and it's annoying. Please look into it. I'll report it to the FBI.

This is a very common scam, and the FBI is well aware of it, as are ISP's. Since the emails come from different addresses each time, blocking their addresses doesn't do much.
Spam filters help some. If you figure out a way to block all spam though, and still let through all valid emails, you'll probably become very rich.
If you've only had one from Nigeria and one from some other country, you're pretty lucky. Most people see a lot of them.

Report them as spam and block there email addresses. Don't worry they send me that to sometimes.

you put it into the spam category, so it won't go to the regular inbox
