How to fight spam and scams:#1: Yahoo has a spamguard filter, but only if multiple users report an address as spam will it be treated as such by the filter. You have a personal list for blocking addresses in spam options. Anything you mark as spam in Mail classic will be added to that list, in New Yahoo mail adding addresses to the list has to be done manually. If you ever receive anything from those addresses in the future, it will be deleted automatically, you won't even notice when you got some more crap from them. One problem though: the list of blocked addresses is limited to 500 and spammers often change their address. So you must sometimes delete some of the older blocked addresses to make room for new ones. Go to this link where everything is explained in detail:help. yahoo. com/us/tutorials/mail/#2: The Federal Trade Commission (www. ftc. gov) is supposed to help you eliminate spam mails. Forward spam to: spam@uce. gov, in the subject line enter something like unsubscribe link results in more spam, unwanted spam message, no unsubscribe link or something similar. When the FTC gets your mail, they will look into the matter and when they find out who the spamming source is, they will take legal actions. www. ftc. gov/bcp/conline/edcams/sp#3: Check Mailwasher, it helps to eliminate spam from your inbox...Set up your email account(s) in MailWasher and hit the Check Mail button. It then downloads all new message headers and displays message details alongside each one (priority, subject, from, to, etc.). Any email that MailWasher considers to be spam is highlighted for easy sorting. Two checkboxes are located next to each message header: Delete and Bounce. If you click Delete the email will be marked for deletion, click Bounce and the mail will be marked for bouncing - a fake address not found email will be sent to the sender. Once you have decided what to bounce and delete, click Process Mail to get it done and your mail client launched for downloading all accepted emails. MailWasher has a blacklist and a friends list to enter good and bad email addresses. Addresses in the blacklist are marked for deletion, and addresses in the friends list will be marked as okay. Filters can be set to increase MailWasher's effectiveness. You can have email addressed to undisclosed recipients automatically deleted and bounced for example. Note: the program is free but limited to one email account. MW Pro supports multiple mail accounts. www. mailwasher. net/

Do not mark them spam with your email address on it, you will be blocking your own address. These are just spoofing emails done by scammers, spammers to look like they are from you so you will open them. Just delete them, they will stop. It happened to me, and they did stop. But it made my heart jump when it started happening.
