phishing scam emails keep getting sent to me from the email address of someone in my contacts list. i sent them an email telling them about it and advising that they should change their password but they have took no notice. yes i could remove them from my contacts list but as the emails are getting sent to people in their contact list it wouldnt make a difference.
basically i have had enough. does anyone know if i can block their email address?

    In hotmail go to:

    Options/more options/safe and blocked senders/blocked senders

    Put in the email address you want blocked.

    If you go to the top of the message band,(in the junk one) there is a button called 'sweep' drop down menu gives you the option to block the sender.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
