Money scams from Africa...Please tell me how to block their emails?

Question

I am concerned about the security of my computer, and i wish to block these ridiculous emails about distant dead realitives. How do i stop their emails with out having to download heaps of things to stop them? My poor computer, it's old and slow enough and...yes, it predates dinosaurs. A mobile has more memory than my dear old faithful......hope you can help me, that is before i go insane from these stupid emails.

Answer 1

You can't block them.
However, if you are like me and a few minutes to spare while at work, you can cut into their productivity time by replying to their emai like I do.
I've been sending email back and forth with this guy for a month and finally convinced him to send me money.
It takes me less than a minute to send an email to them. i use broken english and just type random nonsense like this:
you have to read from the bottom up.

I think we are misunderstanding sir. I need your $50
money. That is what I mean. If you can send me the $50
I can send you the money in ten-fold. We will all
benefit from this transaction. When I receive the $50
from you my family will know it is a serious deal and
the transaction will be coming soon.
Please does this help clear it up?

Answer 2

Well, if you are using an online email site (yahoo.com) use the Spam or whatever feature.

If your computer is really old as you say it is and are using a older email client, then you probably cannot get anti-spam features.

If you can afford it buy a newer computer. You can buy used computers faster than yours for about $100 at a used computer store, but make sure you are getting a legal copy of Windows or otherwise your purchase is pointless and illegal.

Answer 3

Ignore and delete them
Some where you have visited on the computer has passed on your e-mail address.

Answer 4

Just delete them, I get those every single day, I delete them I don't waist my time reading them.
