Don't reply to the emails.  You should have the option to mark their emails as spam or junk.  I've had to change my email address before because of stuff like that.  One thing to remember, don't send mass emails and ask your friends to not include you in mass emails.  Mass emails spread your email address all over the place, and my experience has been that lots of spam come to me after I was part of someone mass email.

A Monty Python sketch featured a restaurant in which everything contained SPAM: "......spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam; or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam". The customers do not want SPAM. The waitress insists that they have to have SPAM. There are Vikings singing about SPAM. \n\nContrary to popular belief, the Hormel Corporation has never had any connection to email spam. In fact, the initial spammers were known as the "Green Card Lawyers"; they posted the exact same offer of their services to obtain a US "green card" in every Usenet newsgroup. Repeatedly. Uning exactly the same text.  This initial delivery mechanism wasn't email, but it wasn't long before spammers branched out to it - more people, easier to do. \n\nSo, analogically, "spam" is repeated emails that you don't want but someone insists on giving you anyway.

If you know the guys email adress, can't you just email him? Sorry I am not him, but that seems smarter than putting his email adress on the web like that. Now bums will start sending him spam!

Legally, they have to but not all do.  BUT the fine print is where you'll find the real deal on the promotion.  Most of these companies just want your contact information so they can send you ads and promos from other companies.  Technically, it's not spam if they do this, b/c you're opting in for all of those emails when you sign up with them.  A lot of these companies also want you to sign up other people in order for you to get the "prize."  Most web savvy people avoid these ads altogether.  I suggest you do as well.

that is called a mailing list.\n\nbecause that behavior is objectionable to most people, the lists are opt-in & opt-out, otherwise it's just SPAM!\n\na mailing list is the only civilized way to do this. Don't jam peoples inboxes!

Yep Got one last week. Ignore and they will go away. Do not respond as this tells them that yr email address is live and they will onsell it to others.

either add their addresses to your address book. or if it's yahoo email, go to options in the top right corner, there is a thing to make spam not spam.

Yahoo! sells yours, along with others', email addresses to corporations, which in turn send you spam at a fixed rate. This is unavoidable.

I've had this happen to me multiple times.  I've written back and said, "Dear so-and-so, I really appreciate hearing from you, and any time you have news of you and your family, or questions of me, I'm happy to take them.  However, please don't include me on your 'forwards' list, because 99 times out of 100, I've already seen what you're sending me multiple times."

There's loads of e-mails which ask you to forward to X number of other people - every one of them is a scam and should be deleted.\n\nThere's different reasons for them but usually it's to harvest e-mail addresses which will then be spammed.

Compose your mail as you normally would, address it to any 1 friend in the 'To' slot, and then put all the e-addresses of your other friends, separated by commas, in the BCC [Blind Carbon Copy] slot. Send it.\nAll the friends will receive it in one shot - with none of them knowing that the others [except the main addressee] too have received copies !

if ur sending to too many persons on ur Yahoo address book then u need to type the code - by this way Yahoo confirms tht u r not spamming the other peoples mails.........

I agree with your thoughts. \nI have had mild attacks , so to say, asking people to never forward any junk mails to your friends, just because the mail wanted you to do so. The promised gains are just a gimmick to start a mail chain "around the world" or to colletc a lot of email addresses. \nSame with mails/web sites asking for people's persoanl info like cell numbers, credit card numbers etc. \n\nPeople have to understand that there is nothing like a free lunch. Companies can not/ will not gift you for sending random emails. \n\nI just intend to keep on reminding friends about this. All the best to u too.

When people sign up for things and don't want it emailed to them, they put in fake addresses. Do you have something random? Like sdifh@yahoo.com because I do that all the time.

Why don't you just respond to one of those spam e-mails that offer them?
