And they look like they're in Russian or something. Am I part of the latest Schiff-for-brains Ukraine hoax??? Razz I keep marking them as Junk, but there have been a steady flow of them for half an hour.

Any way to stop this permanently??

Stop > NO
Deal with it > YES

Depending on your mail system you may be able to create a rule to auto-delete or move it elsewhere like a JUNK folder.
or
Just delete it as they come in.

Best to handle it at the top ISP level (mail server) or you will have to do it on every device you have.

Thank you sir! Yeah...using Outlook via Office Home and Business 2010. I set up a rule to send those to Junk if the sender is "Instagram". Seems to be working so far.

Happy Monday!

This is what happens when you accidentally google Russian Brides instead of Russian Bridles ...

Yeah...that and searching for Gurka cigars (they just sound Russian). Big Grin

I did find a way to set up a mail filter in the web-based app for e-mail. Hopefully that will cut this crap off at the pass before they filter down to my Outlook. I'm using Xfinity/Comcast mail, BTW.
