I used to get emails to tell me that my membership to Amazon etc needs to be updated with my details. Please click here.

I've NEVER been a member of any sort of online shopping site.

I've also had emails from New York Police Department telling me I have to be at the Supreme District Court on a certain date for a traffic violation. I've never been to New York!

I have a pretty email blocker, but the occasional one gets through to my Spam folder. If I don't recognise the sender, I just send them to blocked senders.

Whups, it is better to report it and then delete it as no action can be taken if no one reports them.
Nearly 24 million reports have resulted in nearly 143 thousand sites being removed.

I am with Whupsy on this, tag it as Spam, and then go into your Spam folder and delete the bugger
