Tea: How do I stop getting these spam emails?
I keep getting these spam emails from people who claim to have money for me, that I got an inheritance, blah blah blah. They are extremely annoying. I haven’t replied to any of them, and I was wondering how to stop them from being sent to me. They show up in my spam folder. And if I DON’T reply, the same people send the same message over and over again. Will they stop eventually? Or can I do something to MAKE them stop?

if they use the same e-mail address everytime to send it to you (highly unlikely) you can block the e-mail address usually through the address options otherwise sorry but your stuck like the rest of us with the fake money, penis enlargement and cheap good scammers out there
If they are being delivered to the Spam folder—Yahoo already knows that they are Spam, and is treating them as such, and will automatically delete them at a preset time, and they will eventually stop coming to you.
——BUT——NOT IF YOU KEEP OPENING THEM.
First of all—–You should NEVER open unwanted Spam/Scam mail—or when it’s from someone you don’t know.
All you will accomplish by doing so, is to create more spam for yourself—-since spam and scam mails usually contain a tracking device, or Beacon— that, when opened, will automatically send your address to the “valid and responsive” list, that every spammer/scammer in the world has access to, for just pennies.
Just keep clicking the “spam” tab—-or delete them—-unopened, of course.
You could also block the domain (that’s “everything” that follows the @ sign).
Mail page>>options>>mail/more options>>Spam (from the list on the left)>>block addresses. Enter the *exact* domain and click “add block”—then click “save changes”.
Any further mail from that domain will be caught in the blocked filter and deleted immediately.
