What I do now is just spam whoever sends it to me and delete the e-mail. It's as simple as that.

The FTC is a joke. Be extra careful when buying cameras and electronics from sites in New York. Their AG's offices sends a form letter and crawls back under their rock.

.......... I am always wary of giving a lot of information about myself, online, but there are always slugs climbing out symbolically from under slimy rocks, certainly not any of my Select Soda Head Friends, I appreciate You All......... ;-)

I like how there's no option for someone who also knows the bare minimum...

Thanks. I just discovered it today because I fell for a scam on the net regarding being a personal shopper for Walmart. What tipped me off was the very strange email sent in response to my interest in doing this. My husband looked up this particular email and found it definitely was a scam and why. So I reported it to the federal trade commission.
