it is law that a commercial e-mail have a link to opt out of future mailings. if there is no link for that purpose it is spam. forward it to the fbi

Welcome to the evil world of spam. Just because they say you can remove yourself, that doesn't mean they'll honor your request. Some spammers use remove requests as a confirmation that your e-mail address is valid and start sending even more spam. A better solution is to get a spam filtering program like the ones offered by Norton and McAfee, or if you're using web mail most providers offer a bulk folder and/or filtering and blocking to catch unsolicited e-mails.



If it's coming from a Yahoo Group, just log in to the group and go to the "edit membership" page. You can choose not to receive e-mails there (select "web only").

if in case you've yahoo lol. swap to Gmail, it is a lot extra take care of. Failing that selection your password and your history info. substitute your zip code and city and something else they allow you to regulate. you are able to also evaluate merely last the account altogether, provided that it is already been breached once. and picture about this: you're in basic terms seeing the messages they enable you to work out. What about those that they despatched yet deleted out of your despatched folder formerly you ever stated it? no less than substitute your password. it is no longer a lot an endemic situation because it is a secure practices situation which include your digital mail provider. i do not quite see how sending it to a 'pc health center' is going to assist. in the journey that your worrying that you've an endemic then merely substitute your yahoo info on a distinct pc. That way, in case you do have an endemic on your own pc and it is state-of-the-artwork sufficient to be logging your key strokes (your new password) then it is genuinely no longer waiting to work out what you replaced it to. i quite do not imagine it is an endemic situation. someone merely were given fortunate guessing your likely too weak password OR they knew sufficient about you to wager your safe practices solutions and offered your password and info to this "chinese corporation". occurs each and each of the time.

categorize it as 'junk mail' so it goes straight in the trash after 3 days on it's own

If they won't remove your name, can't you put them on your Yahoo "blocked" list?
