Default emails scams.

I keep getting emails from this person. I have never responded to them but promptly marked as junk/hacker etc. Then blocked a few days later I get another email from her again with a slightly different email address. She goes by helen and graeme Dawson. helen54@xtra.co.nz watch out for this. Anyone know how to make it stop? It's not a threat to me as I just delete and block everytime its just a nuisance.

I don't know who your ISP is but I forward that crap to Telus Spam Reporting.
If it gets irritating, I go to Telus Webmail and mark it as spam. Then I never see it again.

That just proves to them that you've read it. Half the time they just try to hit every possible letter combination to see if any work. E.g. Erizz@Canreef, Frizz@canreef, Grizz@canreef, Hrizz@Canreef, etc.,etc.

Best you can do is select it without even opening it and mark it as spam.
