Good luck. Just delete them. Like some lotto schools that look like they originate in the United Kingdom are run out of Nigeria. They have fake accounts and stuff. Just google scam and you can see some sites that explain the scams and basically just delete them and move on. There are so many. Problem is that they are mostly from another country where our laws may not apply. But after a while they may start to build up. I think one scammer may sell your ID to others. It got to a point that I changed my ID. I was getting so much junk mail. But with each ID change, I learn what NOT to do. I have incredimail.com, and with this i just bounce the few that I get now. But last year, it was like 20 a day and then some. They had my number. Why if they all were legit, I would be richer than Bill Gates. LOL But too bad they are not.

There really isn't anyplace. You can forward them with full headers to your state attorney general, but really all you can do is block each address. Stop signing up for any contests online, and set up a spam folder if your email server allows it.
