Well, you can't really stop this. This is known as spam... and it's hard to get rid of. Spam emails will make it seem like a legitimate email, but in reality, it's not. You can lower this spam by doing this. Whatever you do, don't give out your emails in this form:
yourusername@yourISP.com.
That is how spam bots pick up your email and subscribe you to their emailing list. Also, by opening up spam emails, it confirms that your email is active and will only send you more. To avoid this, type your email like this:
yourusername[at]yourISP[dot]com
This will trick the spam bots, and your spam intake should be reduced. In the mean time, mark it as spam and it shouldn't interfere with your inbox.

Once your email address is on a spammers or junk mail list it is almost impossible to get off. Right now, your e-mail address (along with millions of others) is on a CD being sold from the back rooms of software shops from Bangladesh to Botswanna and from Norway to the Netherlands.
However there are several things that you can do to prevent even more spam.
1. Start by removing your e-mail address from your Yahoo profile,if it is on it. The spam-industry has programs that are continusously crawling the web looking for the "@" symbol which is a sure sign the the word before it and the domain name after it is an e-mail address!
2. Use a longer address. The spam industry uses programs that try sending e-mail to all known domain names. Example: a program might start trying to send out e-mails to everyone starting with aaaaa@INVALID.com and continue down to zzzzz@INVALID.com. Using a longer e-mail address will make this harder to do.
3. Never click the "Unsubscribe Link" in any e-mail. This will only confirm to the spammers that your e-mail address is indeed real and that you are reading their garbage. In fact, do not even open any e-mail from anybody you don't know or trust. Many spams are not only annoying but contain viruses of other malware. Just delete 'em without opening 'em!.
You can however click that "Unsubscribe Me" button from businesses that are well known and that you trust. Walmart... yes. Someone selling Viagra...no.
4. Open up a second e-mail account. Whenever, a website requires you to register using your e mail address, use this secondary address. There are many unscrupulous websites that will sell you address to others or bombard you with spam themselves.
5. Download a free copy of SiteAdvisor. SiteAdvisor will alert you when you search (Google, Yahoo, MSN, search only) of websites that are known to send out spam. This can help you avoid registering with any sites that are known to spam people.

Treat your e-mail address just like you would your telephone number or home address....only give it out to those that you absolutely trust!

What ever you do dont click the "unsubscribe" link, this will tell the spammers that you are a "real" address.
One of the reasons you are getting this email is that your email address may be posted on a web site.
One of the things you can do is install a "Box trapper", this requires each person that emails you to reply to a email sent automattically the 1st time they send you a email (a bit complicated). I have been using this for a few years & it cuts down tha spam email as the spammers can never reply to your request & there 1st email is trashed.

There are several ways to not see that email.......but.......you didn't tell us what email client you use and that makes a difference.
But never "unsubscrbe" to a spam email; all you are doing is letting the spammer know that there is a good email address to send more crap to.

either in the email itself it could/should have an unsubscribe button, usually at the very end. or in outlook you click on the email and then go to message and block sender. this will send future ones straight to the deleted folder.

After doing some home work to ensure I was about to deal with a reputable outfit, I was very glad with the level of service, and the quality of the product I had ordered. Glad to say I will be doing business with them again and referring them to friends.
highly recommended these sites for buying any prescription drugs.
