Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Barbara Go into your Account settings and make sure all advertising is not clicked. The default is for EVERYTHING to do with advertising to be on. I didn't even give my full name or correct address in my account. That way there can be no regular mail spam. On the bottom of the email from the witches group there should be a link to go to the group itself. From there, you should be able to take yourself off the group. If it doesn't work, sign up for a new user email account. It is easy to do. I do it when I get so much spam it is not worth maintaining that email account.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 >i keep getting email for some group about witches. - If the email is directly from the sender and not received through a group you want to keep you can block sender so that address cannot send you any more spam. Some spammers get around this by changing the sending address continuously but it works for many cases. Open one of the spam letters then click on " Message " on the top line of your page and then on 'block sender'. But if it has a friendly group address in the `From ' slot then don't do it or you'll block the group. rusty - barbara101ann Tuesday, July 04, 2006 7:15 PM is anyone else getting plagued from spam? is anyone else getting plagued from spam? i keep getting email for some group about witches.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I have received several invitations over the past 9 months (approx.). Most of them for some group about ghost hunting, hauntings, witches, etc. Anyway, when I ignored them, I would end up getting another one real soon. I've sent replies to stop sending invitations, which ended getting me signed up for the group. I also complained to , which didn't seem to be of much use. The best way I have found so far to get them to stop has been to sign up for the group then turn around and leave. When I first did that, I left immediately, and ended up getting an 'invitation' later. So then I joined for a few days then left that group. I did actually read some of those posts. Some real nice people, just not the group for me. A bit too fluffy and a field I really don't care about. I haven't had any of those 'invitations' since about 3 months ago now That's the best I can give you.

Look for " Sam Spade " and download. It may work. Once you find " the source of the problem " you can eliminate it in a nice way. :-) --Vince © 2006 Rev.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hello Greetings > If the email is directly from the sender and not received through a group > you want to keep you can block sender so that address cannot send you any > more spam. I got it once. ( just one time ) It's directly from the sender, ( a group ) and received through the same group. Also, >"Gary Graves" <ggraves wrote: >I have received several invitations over the past 9 months (approx.). >Most of them for some group about ghost hunting, hauntings, witches, etc.>>Anyway, when I ignored them, I would end up getting another one real soon. I also got one invitation around 9 months ago. It's from a group of hauntings, I remember..... There was an expiration date to join. I ignored the email and that's it. I'm getting emails about a stock trade, though.... I guess, this is all I can offer for now. Thank you.
