  |  'Devin C. from ILM': how to eliminate scam?
Hello, Has anyone ever come across this annoying "Devin C. from ILM" before? He keeps scamming my Inbox with his trash upwards to 5 times daily. How can we BLOCK idiots from reaching us in the 1st. place? Kind suggestions appreciated!  Last edited by sk8joyful; 11-09-2011 at 07:15 PM. |

It's all speculation at this point, we'll need more information to provide an accurate resolution. What email program do you use? (outlook, thunderbird, outlook express or through your browser) Who is your mail server with? (ie. your home connection (att, comcast, time warner), through a free provider (like hotmail or yahoo), etc... Can you provide more information? |

I think of you as a precious Individual who genuinely Cares so much for others. THANK you!I keep trying to Rep you, but this dang system won't let me, sorry. We have 'Thunderbird'; and (a paid Mail-host on the web that I don't want to disclose, fearing a few malicious  members I've encountered here, possibly using info to hurt me.)At any rate, that weirdo is only bugging me like once daily now; so hopefully my steadfastly Ignoring him, means he is giving UP. I'd be so pleased!  Thank you so very much! - oh, now my mouse is acting UP  I threatened to replace it, with one from the pet-store but it just sits here & LAUGHS at me. What nerve!!

Those are very kind words, thank you! Yeah, I have the rep limitations too. lol I was going to rep you for this post, but BLAARG it won't let me So yeah, thunderbird has a button labeled junk, it looks like a little flame. Click that on his emails and thunder bird will throw it in the junk folder. After a while it'll remember those messages and automatically remove them. If you have a good antivirus, it'll help determine junk too. Depending on who your mail provider is, you may be able to block that senders address from even getting through. Good luck! Spam is such a PITA  |
