don't you all get a little fed up with all the scam and junk mail that you get these days?
Do you reply and tell them to f*** off or do you just ignore it?
and some of the scam email are really professional and very well put together - I think Eastern European syndicate stuff

Is there a blocking website you can forward this junk on to or do you just ignore it - It wont go away without some sort of intervention, but what?

Do you know of anyone who has fallen for these scams? someone must have otherwise they would not still be doing the rounds

Download a program called Mail Washer. Install it
It runs once the PC boots up and shows u all the mail in your inbox, with this you can friend people, ignore and blacklist further unwanted e-mails from coming through.
Its a free to use program as well.

Just delete it, if you reply it confirm your email adress...lot of it is automated mails from spam servers, just waiting for a bite.
Same story lately on SMS
