Hi! I have a lot of these in all my emails,can't really stop them. What I do is put them in the SPAM folder so if the same sender does send me another email it will go directly to the SPAM folder. Hope this help. :)

Como estas, dash 23!
It's a wise move to simply drop the scam addresses into your spam folder! :=)
You might also consider posting the scam mails here for other victims to see. :wink: I know it's asking a lot as it will take a lot of your time, but it might help. Whatever you do, you are always welcome here. :beer:
