yes, i think everyone keeps on getting those awful spam e-mails saying ‘you have $1,000,000’ the best thing to do i think, is when you get a spam…open it up and click ‘report phishing scam’ thats what i do whenever i get thos junk e-mails and i haven’t been getting them as much…if that still doesn’t work you’ll just have to live with it and keep on deleting them and remember you’re not the only one who’s getting them 🙂 hope this helps! good luck!
i have a special email account that i use if i need to sign up somewhere, and if there was any spam i wouldn’t bother because i don’t check that email account often. My primary email account is only for friends and relatives, have no spam there at all. This said, both accounts are at gmail and i very seldom ever get any spam there at all.
