    Morning guys,
    Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know if there is a way of reporting email spammers and cons.
    I have suddenly started to receive about 30 or more per day and it's making it really difficult and long-winded checking for wems.
    Other than the Junk Mail folder (Hotmail) (which doesn't seem to do much because I have to check through that also for wems) is there somewhere I can send them all to be investigated? :confused:

    I've been getting them too recently, I used to get hardly any junk but in the last few weeks i've been inundated with it. There must have been a dodgy comp that we entered cos also i've had 2 readers digest letters which i've not had for years. :rolleyes:

    I use hotmail and I don't think theres any way of reporting them without opening them (which you don't do!). :confused: It is really annoying though the amount that goes in my hotmail everyday. :mad:

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

    I use a programme called Mailwasher, which lets me bounce any spam email back to the sender, so it doesn't look like a real email address (I think it's a bit like stealth blocking ports :confused: )

    Thanks for that Cheeky Chicken.

    I need some help with my hotmail if anyone knows the answer? I know someone else had the same problem but can't remember who.

    When I want to do an email comp I just click on the email link and it opens up a new hotmail message, I add my details and send - which I am sure is exactly the same way everyone else does it. BUT, somethings changed and when I click on the email link I get this:

    Windows Live Hotmail wasn't able to complete this request. Microsoft may contact you about any issues you report.

    (AND 2 CLICKABLE BOXES WHICH SAY)
    1. TRY TO RETURN TO WINDOWS LIVE HOTMAIL
    2. PLEASE REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO MICROSOFT



    I've not changed any settings so I have no idea why its doing this and how to fix it. Help anyone???

    Hi all,

    general question abotu comping and couldn't figure out where to put it, so putting it here!

    Discovered this board on Monday, and have been addicted ever since. Entered all the comps on the ending tommorrow threads with prizes I'd like/can use (so quite a lot then) just wondering how long did it take before you started to hear about comps you'd entered and won/lost?

    Not saying I'm impatient or anything, had a couple of instant wins so really shouldn't be so impatient!

    lil'H

    PS Loving this board, everyone is so happy all the time!

    Hi Lil'H :hello: & welcome to the comping corner of MSE :)

    To answer your questions you could take a look at the Comping Guide - Getting Started & Other FAQs which is a thread which is permanently on the 1st page of the main comping forum to make it easy to find & refer back to :)

    Good luck in your comping [strike]habit[/strike] hobby ;)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
