Question

i have a guy that i know that calls me his freind but he is constantly sending me bogus emails with bogus addresses
im over it its annoying how can i counteract them?
most of them you cant reply to help

Answer 1

Block them, it's probably spam and is coming from an automated sender hence you can't reply. You may need to change email addresses and choose a service which has spam filtering e.g. GMail. You must be careful where and to whom you give your email address - that's how they collect these addresses.

Also, replying is generally a bad idea - it advises their system that you are receiving the emails and will only make them more determined.

Answer 2

Most email programs have among its options, the option to block certain email addresses. In mine, it's called Address Blocker. But, if he uses bogus addresses, just report those ones as spam in your mail system.
If all else fails, just get a new email address, and don't tell him what it is. If someone was doing that to me, I certainly would not call him my friend !

Answer 3

Go to the checkbox and check it, then hit the Spam button at the top of the inbox, or bulk, whichever box it's in.. Don't open them, at all..
then go and put the domain on block.. which is done by going into Options and filters..

Answer 4

Most people get another email site--one for their trusted friends and one for their junk email. Try this and only give the new site out to best friends.

Answer 5

test your laptop utilising anti-virus for any protection threat classes that must be hacking your e mail. additionally substitute your e mail password to a minimum of one which would be difficult to crack, which means it has letters, numbers, unique characters, and is decently long.

Answer 6

It will probably be better to speak to the guy, it might resolve itself that way.
