Getting flooded with SPAM!

10 years ago

I must have used my aol account at a bad place because they are now bombarding me with junk!
Any suggestion on how to stop it? They don't have a blocking option on AOL that I know of.

-or- Where can I get another email account that has better protection?
thanks

Be sure you don't just delete them instead move them to the junk mail folder so it can learn.

Yes and the more people that report the spam, the faster it is gone. Copy the URL of the spam thread then click on "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page and catagorize the message as "Abuse Of Forums" and paste the spam thread's URL into the message and ask for removal.

Eh, I run AdBlock Plus in Firefox and I have yet to see any pop-ups. On my phone it's a different story.

That's crazy, I can still see it. Wolfpackmom (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 13 at 16:41 I am thinking of using this in entry way, 2 story foyer and upstairs hall....has anyone used it in that much space - what do you think?? I am really stuck - originally was going with a yellow/gold and after 6 weeks cannot find the right shade. I have seen Soft Fern in several online designer rooms and love it. Anyone have pictures that are true to color?? I will get a sample if needed, but want reviews of it before I put $ out for yet another sample. Thanks! Follow-Up Postings:

Sierra Trading Post privacy policy states they are part of TJX. ' We may share your personal information among the TJX Businesses (which are affiliates owned by TJX, including Derailed, T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Winners, HomeSense, and T.K. Maxx). They may use this information to offer products and services' I do buy from Sierra Trading occasionally. I get a lot of specials offered from them, deeper discounts, closeouts, free shipping.... I've never received unsolicited mail from any of the other companies they mention sharing with.

Yahoo consigns much of the stuff that comes in here to "Spam" ... and when I check, seldom do I choose to highlight one to click on "Not spam" at the top of the page.

When I find one in the "Inbox" that I want to label as "Spam", I click on that button at the top of the page. It seems to have been fairly accurate in judging which ones to drop into the junk box.
