    I am getting between 5 and 10 of these a day to my email addy and they are driving me nuts and I don't know how on earth to stop them. Between all the money I can earn from various invitations to these foreign deals and what with all the money I keep winning on Lottery games I have never entered or heard of, I am close on being a billionaire :j

    It won't stop them coming, but if you are feeling public spirited you can report them to the police. I do it through the local police website (Avon and Somerset): they have an email address for this purpose. I make sure all the headers are showing to help them trace the originator. I am not convinced it does any good, but we are regularly reminded to do this through the Neighbourhood Watch newsletter, so I do!

    Thanks Sue, I didnt think about reporting them to the police. I will give it a go and see what they say.

    I would be more inclined to ask your ISP why their mail servers spam filter isn't doing its job to be honest.
