My Funny Picture

Email spam? Strange words/ pictures...?

For the past couple weeks I've been recieving these weird emails. I probably get about 3-4 a day. They make no sense at all. Each email is from a different address but they sort of look the same. There's a picture with words inside, almost like alittle article, but it's weird. Then at the bottom there's more writing which makes no sense at all. How do I stop this?

1. You can block each one in your email options and if that doesnt help then just delete each ons as they come in. You can use the spam button but it all goes to the trash bin anyway.
2. block it in email options delete it (its a scam)
3. You can forward such email to spam@uce.gov It does help. Spammers resist, which lets me know it helps more than we know. Spam to my email went down after I started forwarding it all to spam@uce.gov I have set up a filter to collect all the mail I WANT into a "keep" folder. I read that email first, since it's from addresses on my list. You will still need to look at your inbox because there'll always be a chance someone you want to get email from is not on your list. I wouldn't bother setting up a second filter to keep out bad email, because that would be a third folder you would need to check because it will sometimes catch your friends' emails. Yahoo lets you right click on email messages and identify them as spam. I've never known of Yahoo stopping any email I wanted. With Outlook you can right click on an email message and look at the properties. Then you can look at the "source". That will let you look at a questionable email without actually opening it. Opening some emails can activate pictures and things they've designed to reach back to their web sites to save information like your email address. For this reason I would turn off features in your email that let you "preview" messages, because that preview can get information from the attackers web site. If something in the text doesn't identify the email as being from someone you know then you should not open the email. Most people consider bulk email to be spam. Don't trust any bulk email or spam. If you respond to them in any way they make a profit from it and will continue. If the spam is clearly trying to get you to send them money you can go to http://www.ftc.gov and use the "file a complaint" link in the center near the top. It will help give them the information they need to track the mass fraud.
