Reply:I usually just delete all messages in Spam if I'm not expecting contact from a legit company. In one weekend I usually receive 600 to 700 messages. That is way too much!
Reply:you can report it to your local law enforcement agency however they can't do much as these scammers are fly by nite and very difficult to track down. the best you can do is just ignore them and continue to mark them as spam.
Reply:You can report this as spam...or even report it to customer service. Unfortunately just like everything else in the world, television, radio, mail...If you do not want to read it you are just going to have to delete it. The internet is not that private of a place, and although yahoo and others do the best they can, people who you do not want to associate with are going to get through to all of us and the best way to deal with them is not to deal with them at all! DELETE THEM! And enjoy the internet for what you use it for. Good luck!
