Are you identifying them as spam or just deleting them? From time to time I get a few things like this on my Yahoo account but I always report them as spam and it is some time before it happens again. All you have to do is highlight the message and click “spam”.

Personally, I think Yahoo! e-mail works great!

Yahoo doesn’t care.

I got one of these scammers and he even gave me an address in the UK where I should send him large amounts of money. I hopes they would help get the constabulary on the creep, I contacted Yahoo to “Report Abuse.” I got a mealy-mouthed, “nothing we can do” reply.

I guess I should have contacted either Scotland Yard or the local constabulary, but I didn’t know how to contact them and I hand no intention of paying for a trans-Atlantic phone call only to get put on hold.

Hi,
Friend, these days many Yahoo or MSN users are facing these problem. This will be a long answer but reading it will leave you happy. Many time you get mail or sms about these scams, they can be in these subjects and can try to take you in this fraud circle.

See, these all things are spam and meant for troubling users and filling the inboxes and to send fraud sms. The e-mail id’s and the url from which the message sare send is fraud and inlegal. This is all fake and spam. Spam is any message that’s sent to multiple recipients who haven’t specifically requested the message. In other words, spam is crap.Spammers typically purchase or harvest a list of email addresses. They send messages from numerous different addresses to all areas of the Web. These messages tend to be “forged,” to hide who actually sent them.

Yahoo is committed to eliminating spam—eyuck! And you’ve got great tools to help keep spam out of your Inbox.

What should you not do with spam>>>

Never open a spam message (or any message from a sender you don’t recognize) unless you have the “Block HTML graphics” setting on. If you view HTML images in an email, spammers are alerted that you opened their message. So how do you turn on the Block HTML function?
Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page.
Under “Management”, click General Preferences.
Scroll down to the “Messages” section, and next to “Security:”, check the box beside “Block HTML graphics in email…”
At the bottom of the page, on the left, click Save.
Never respond to spam. To the individuals who send spam, one response or “hit” among thousands of mailings is enough to justify the practice.
Never respond to the spam email’s instructions to reply with the word “remove” unless you trust or know the sender. Many spammers use the “remove” or “unsubscribe” links as a ploy to get you to react to the email. This may alert the sender that your email address is open and available to receive mail, which greatly increases its value. If you reply, your address may be placed on more lists, resulting in more spam.
Never click on a URL or web site address listed within a spam email. This could alert the site to the validity of your email address, potentially resulting in more spam.
Never sign up with sites that promise to remove your name from spam lists. Although some of these sites may be legitimate, more often than not, they are address collectors. The legitimate sites are ignored (or exploited) by the spammers, and the address collection sites are owned by spammers. In both cases, your address is recorded and valued more highly because you have just identified that your address is active.

Ok it’s bye from me, hope it help’s!
