[joz*garage]

has anyone got the email addy ^? 

since returning to my former competition entering career im being spammed online big time

i mainly enter & complete free car competitions which are OK

but then started to look at entering lesser prize draws for elcetronical stuff, didnt complete them coz of the rigmarole you need to go through but this was enough to get my addy, which is the problem

i can easy tell theyre scams as they dont identify themselves and the supposed winnings fluctuate

one partictual mob appears frustrated with me by not clicking the links and upped the winnings from $20 to 3 grand, lol

I can notify my ISP, they have a filter... BUT... you gave out your email addy... that is what happens. They have done nothing wrong so there is not much you can do. 

I also have an antivirus that scans and sorts most of my emails... they sent the junk into the rubbish bin. 

Giving out your email addy is nothing like it was in the old days... now you give it to one and they will sell it to anyone... I use a spam type email addy that I use to subscribe with if I choose to take that risk.

 They have done nothing wrong so there is not much you can do. 

im trying to prevent them from doing anything wrong like illegally entering my computer, i suspect some of those emails are genuine SCAms! its the scams im concerned with not the spamming

i used to send scam mail that i recieved in my letter box to fair trading i think it was... the addy didnt require a stamp

im looking for the email addy online now to forward to the right department

Sorry... I got mixed up with you saying two things... 

I just delete those...... I don't forward them on... but if you do make sure you don't download any of the content as then they know that they have hit a good email address....
