Lately i'm getting mail with my mispelled name and crap which I didn't sign up for.

It's all scam and gambling letters. I have no clue what the frigging thing they are but I think my friends are using my name to do stupid offers for a free ipod and crap. How can I stop this raid of letters?

And the company that I recieved the letter from is Europa Casino. Now wtf. I'm going to the site and talking to the online supporters? Should I do that?

Most of them come from the same.."commercial dealer", and if you look at the bottom of the message, you will see a link for unsubscribing.(NOTE: not all of them have these stuff and it's not guaranteed to work)
I've changed 3 emails thanks to spam, and I've learnt how to keep it away. NEVER give away your email. Only for sites or forums u trust. In no way to a registration on a cool looking site. Have a backup email for that, just in case you need a confirmation link sent to your email. But NEVER give away your email.

It's not email. It's real mail in my mailbox. They spell my name wrong, and then get the address way off. Hell they got the zip wrong.

Now, I don't know what's going on here but this needs to stop.

Even if you have the BULK off, you can recieve stuff in INBOX!!!

I dunno fo sho, but i think bulk folder is only at yahoo

edit*
OH< MAIL

That sucks

Check them really carefully, and see if you find some kind of number or addres where you can unsubscribe
Anyway, it's not that bad...Just take them with your usual email, and throw them away...you don't have to open them O_O

If it was something I accidently signed for I just reply to the sender with the title "Unsubscribe", and jsut say in the email
example said:
Unsubscribe

Kind regards, your name here
I'm successful sometimes, sometiems I'm not. If it's a mail bot then It really becomes impossiblt, hence why I just keep a different mail account for stuff I have to sign up for nowa days.

I've had the same Gmail account for two years now and I never get spam. Weird.

Oh, didn't notice that.

It's more a matter of contacting someone in relation to the postal service then if that's the case (should they have a return address on the back of the letter/envolope), or just report harassment mail, or something 0_o.
