Why are you opening mail from people you do not know? Opening spam mail alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more.

When an E-mail offer sounds too good to be true, then it is definitely not true.

It is a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both!

Do not respond to it.

Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP.

For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya鈥?/a>

Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.

Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.

And for your E-mail safety, remember:

Do not ever open E-mail from people you do not know; and unless you are absolutely sure who it is from then treat them as spam.

Opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more of it to you.

Never, ever give out your personal information to anyone, for any reason, whether by E-mail, snail mail, phone call, or at your front door.

And do not ever send money, checks or money orders to; or cash checks, money orders for any one - ever.How to report about spam mails to e mail service providers?
Normally you report to abuse@[serviceprovidersname}.com

so if it comes from a gmail account, report to abuse@gmail.com



But every time you mark a message as Spam, it automatically gets reported to Yahoo.
