I've been getting about 10 e-mails from different people.It's actually ..I'm the 3rd party.
A drug company is sending someone an e-mail with there name.I get the e-mail too addressed to the person.
It's the same 3 letters of part of my e-mail address.
I'll get.. To Rose ...buy etc, from Splendidrx.com
my e-mail is close to Roses..
another words .. Roses e-mail address is
Rose@bbc.com

mine is boxandone@bbc.com
the bbc is the same to all the people splendidrx sends to. I'll get to Charles,Bob,Linda,etc.etc
I downloaded splenddidrx and contacted them.But after 5 e-mails no answer.
What is this.I have spysweeper,Norton,etc.

I've blocked the e-mails but there all coming from different address's.
Can someone help me figure how to stop all the e-mails... Thanks

Box, this download has an "identity theft protection". I'm a puter nitwit, but a friend installed Zone Alarm protection on my puter and I'm 99.999% problem free.

First stop responding to the e-mails to try and unsubscribe, because all you're doing is confirming to the spammers that your e-mail address is a live one!!!

What e-mail system do you use??? Most you can report something as spam, that will start to make some efefct after a while.

Another is to use an interim mail "washer" where you specify only which e-mails come through. Also in packages like hotmail, you can specify that only allowed e-mails come through (eg, only from people within your address book)


At the end of the day, spam is a fact of life of having an e-mail address. IGNORE them all and just delete them. NEVER EVER download the software they might ask you to download or reply to them, or e-mail any address they ask you to for any reason, by doing that you did EXACTLY what they wanted you to do!!!


You have an @BBC.com e-mail that makes me think you work for the BBC, so contact your IT support department and tell them.
