I'm not sure, but for some reason they have your email which you must have put on an anonymous website, so they added you to their emailing list which they email scam to. The only thing you can do for now is when you read the message look up at the top where it says reply or delete and things like that and select "Spam" it will send all messages like these(and if it doesn't work with the others, then just send them to your Spam box too) to your Spam inbox, which you can access from the sidebar where you can go to your drafts and trash. So everyday you can just go to your spam inbox and empty it. Good luck!

When you open those spam mailings that tells them that your address is valid and they send you loads and loads more! You can not completely stop all spam, but you can help to put a big dent in it. First, try not to open any of them, that only makes them send more and more to you. Check mark them and click on 'Spam,' this should stop those addresses from being delivered to your inbox. Use your spam guard and block address. Look for the 'Options' link at upper right corner of mail screen and click on it Options /mail options Click on 'spam' in the list on the left. Make sure spam guard is on, by checking in the little box. Then in 'Blocked Email Addresses,' enter the E-mail address you wish blocked, in the box after 'Add a blocked address' and click on the 'add' button, then click on save changes at top left of screen. You will never get mail from that address again. This should help you to control your spam. Other tips: Never open E-mail unless you are absolutely sure who it is from. Never give out your personal information to anyone. If you are on a site and you absolutely have to sign up for something, check the entire page to make sure you uncheck any lines wanting to send you any other info, notices, catalogs, ads, and the like. Added detail: Yes, spammers change one item in their addresses a lot, so you might try blocking the entire domain, by putting in *@ thedomainyouwanttoblock.com for instance: *@seeyou.com Or, if they change the domain, instead of the company name you can block the name by putting in Imatheft_inc@* Hope this helps.
