Email Tips B1 - Blocking Email

 
Blocking Unwanted Explained

When you place an e-address in the Blocked Sender's List, you will still get mail from that sender, BUT it goes directly to your Deleted Mail file. The sender is NOT notified that you blocked them; therefore, they will continue to send mail to you. NEVER reply to junk mail that you don't want to receive -- that merely guarantees to them that your address is valid and that you are receiving their mailings. It seems my blocked sender's list is a mile long, but at least I don't have to delete their repeated stupid emails every day.

The Most Common Email Scams
"Advance fee fraud or '419' fraud (named after the relevant section of the Nigerian Criminal Code) is a popular crime with the West African criminal element. There are a myriad of schemes and scams - mail, faxed and telephone promises designed to facilitate victims parting with money. All involve requests to help move large sums of money with the promise of a substantial share of the cash in return."
