Porn site phishing

[greggl]

For the last few weeks literally everyday at least twice a day I get an email with the subject line New Message from Brittany Andrews and the body of the message says you have a new private message. Please sign in to my site to read it and a link to the site. Well I have never been a member of her site and the email address it is using is one I rarely use. Obviously I am not going to click on the link. And since I have never been a member of the site I can't sign into it. Unfortunately phishing emails are common place but this is the most persistent one I have seen.

You should be able to block them, Gregg. Try right-clicking on the notice and see what selections come up. Also, at least in my Yahoo email, when I move my mouse over the "Sender" in my inbox, a window pops up revealing the actual email address of the sender.

Third, if I mark something as spam, it gets moved to my Spam folder. There I can open it with all links and malware disabled so that I can look at the message and decide.

You may already know all this, but the main thing is, if you suspect an email is spam, you shouldn't open it. It's possible for someone to include something in that email that will notify the sender that it is a valid address and that you have opened it. They can also include malicious code that can affect your computer. So, maybe try marking these as spam and see what happens. Good luck.

How funny I get those very same emails from Brittany Andrews! I was wondering how I got on that list? They go straight to my spam box though.
