The people who send mass spam emails to your yahoo account really try to fool ya. They'll send you an email entitled, "Your invoice payment", or "Your order", trying to fool you into opening it up, thinking the email is legit. I've even received spam emails to my regular inbox on Yahoo, which I then report to them as being spam, and they wind up being deleted off. The people who email spam really try to get your attention, although they can't fool me. If the email is coming from someone I don't know, I don't open it, it just gets deleted off right away. Better to do that then to open up something and wind up with a computer virus.

I get more junk mail on Yahoo than any other e-mail account I have.

...which is why I never really use it. It's out there, but dormant.

Yeah, I hear ya. I only use my Yahoo email for people outside of my family, and for organizations that I don't really want them to have my real email address.

I get tons of spam in gmail and just delete it all. It's a nuisance.

also, if you get an email supposedly from your bank asking you to verify your details, dont.

I hardly ever delete my email...I just sort of let it pile up.

The group moderators are getting on my nerves. You used to be able to just join a group. Now they have this little box where you have to tell the moderator about yourself and what your hobbies and interests are. I got into it with a moderator once and told him that I didn't see the point in telling him about myself because I'm not interested in dating him, I just want to be in the damn group. Of course he denied my membership but still. That seems like an awful lot of effort for nothing.

I never get any spam on Yahoo, other e-mail accounts are filled with spam but not Yahoo. Have you answered 'No' to all the marketing suggestions in the Yahoo account? (I think it was there but as I can't get there right now I can't check).

What marketing suggestions?
Where?

I really, really am getting sick and tired of those f*cking e-mails from people wanting to send me millions of dollars from Africa if I only send them my bank account info.



I keep marking them as Spam, but they keep coming back!

You find them when you're logged in and there is the small text 'my account' under your name. Click that and you'll be on a page with all your information. In the 'member information' part is a hyper link with text 'edit your marketing preferences', click tehre and tick all boxes you want to.

Hmm, I just went back and double checked my settings again. Even with nothing checked off, I'm STILL getting tons of spam email.
