Spam mail

I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions. I used to belong to Cyprus 44 forum before joining Kibkom. I seem to get Turkish (assumption only) spam emails on a regular basis, I'm assuming but not pointing any fingers that they have orginated through the forums. I have opened one or two in the past to see if there is an "unsubscribe" but not being familiar with the Turkish language I am very wary of pressing any buttons so usually just delete them all.

Don't think it is anything to do with us! Really! The best way to deal with spam is block the senders and then delete. Or you can 'return to sender' to pretend you did not have it. But clickon anything and you are 'doomed'. They knolw you have got it and will pester yu, plus it might contain a virus. So, your idea of deleting is great, but to make sure you don't get any more just block them.
Happy e mailing.

Hi, by screen shots do you mean a means of copying, I can probably copy/paste and send. Would you need to see the message or just the address. I don't usually open them just delete.
I would have to wait for the next one but they arrive nearly daily.

Oh dear, does seme to be form there. And I remember that name. Reckon |I got one at some time in the past.
How to block? Not sure of your programme, but on mine go to the top menu where it says something like 'Message' click on it and you will get a drop down menu and one of the thing s listed is 'Block message'. Click on that and you will see further instructions.
In any event make sur e you delete the message. She probably own't try twice. Same goes for the rest. No response and they don't bother. But does anyone have any different experience?
