    I'm so so so tired of being scammed (not really). It's just that I am always receiving emails of no sense. Could anyone help me work this out?:confused:

    hehehe why not you just create a new account or just set a rules in the email and any unwanted email will go straight away to junk mail.

    I suggest you create 2 or more email accounts. Dont give your email address for the one you want to use as your personal account.

    as long as you dont click every link that come to your email without checking the header and link direction (mouse hover), you have less chance to get scammed or phished.

    or do you mean spammed?

    Just use Thunderbird and let the junk filter do its thing.

    I get 1000+ spam, scam and phishing emails per day. 99% of them go straight into the junk box without any input from me.
