Bogus software sales companys.. they have bogus email addresses that you can't reply to and crazy urls you can't track like http://hi5fm6nqnb572hzumhhc4hhz.fvillers.ph/

Bogus get larger (for men sexual performance) ads..

Stocks and trading emails that have nothing but some hidden stock tip and a bunch of mumbo jumbo at the bottom of the email you can't understand.

Credit repair spam.

Health products spam

Home Refinancing spam

We can report all we want to.. but it will not stop them.  The problem is people are getting recruited in companies because of spam.  So since the process of networking is duplication, then all they see is to spam to get the same results.

For email spam, if you are using a client application such as MS Outlook or Outlook express, I would recommend switching to Mozilla Thunderbird.  There's a free download here.  Thunderbird has a built in learning system to detect and file away spam and it works really well.  It also has a phishing protection system to notify you if it thinks something is a scam.

You can also have SpamAssassin installed on your mail server or use a program that only lets you receive email from people you have given the OK.  I can't remember what it's called but if interested I could probably find it.
Another thing you could do is set up a yahoo account and forward your emails there because yahoo filters based on IP address and not the domain name since domain names are almost always spoofed.  That's why you won't be able to make a list of spammer domains because any spammer is going to spoof their domain.  You have to look up their domain by looking at the headers and do a whois lookup on the ip address but I leave that up to yahoo or thunderbird.

We also have a do not call list here in Canada although I think I heard that you have to register every couple of years because it expires.

Hi David, Thanks for this forum, I have also bookmarked it for future reference. ASnd thanks for your tip not to mark "spam" those schemes we have joined and then forgotten about - I suppose this means they could get put on a spam list, when they are not - from now on I will click on the "unsubscribe" link. Linda - was the "tic" man that good looking?! LOL Saludos Jenny

Hi Philena,

It may not stop them but if we can save one person, we did good right!
