Someone searching my email address and sending false emails to me every day.Mostly from U.K and afria.?

So how can prevent or stop this type of emails reaching in my yahoo mail?Someone searching my email address and sending false emails to me every day.Mostly from U.K and afria.?
Usually just clicking on SPAM when you receive the message will direct it to your SPAM FOLDER and any subsequesnt emails from this person will go there...if that doesn't work try below....





If you are using yahoo classic OR all new mail.....


Go to ';Options'; It is above your email


Click on ';Mail Options';


Click on SPAM


Enter the address you want to block


Click on “Add Block”











On occasion the sender changes their name BEFORE @ so block that DOMAIN the following way...





If you are receiving several emails from the same domain, but various ID's, the easiest way to stop them is to enter the domain into your ';Blocked Addresses';.





In Yahoo! mail, to block the senders domain (hotmail.com):


◘ Click on ';Options, upper right corner of mail page';.


◘ Then ';Mail Options';.


◘ Click on ';Spam'; from the list on the left.


◘ In the ';Add a blocked address'; box, enter the domain (only the part of the email address AFTER @, do not include @). Note: I have recently seen where you should have the @ included...try them both.


◘ Click the ';Add'; button.








Now, any email from that domain, no matter what ID is used to send it, will be blocked.

FINALLY...do not forget to click on SAVE CHANGES at the top of the page....





....Have a great day...................

You can't. Unless these messages contain a specific threat to you, the police won't get involved. The messages are more than likely spam and are going to thousands, if not millions of people, in a few quick keystrokes.





Just delete them. Don't open them under any circumstances. When you mark a message that gets through to your inbox as spam, that email address is automatically added to the list of addresses that can no longer send mail to your inbox. At the same time, that message and address are reported to yahoo so they can continue to work on this extremely difficult problem. It can still get to your junk mail though. Unfortunately, these people have hundreds, if not thousands of email accounts, and they use different addresses all the time, so you will continue to receive them.





One thing I have found is that since I've been very careful about where I browse on the internet, and to what websites I provide my email address, my junk mail has decreased to less than one per day.
