Recently started receiving ***** enlargement spam to my iphone - how can I stop it ?

I have recently started to receive copious amounts of spam on this subject - how can I stop it.  I don't have access to the service provider for the particular email address it is coming to

Is this an IMAP account?  Does it have a default SPAM folder.  At the least you can try transferring them from the inbox to the account's SPAM folder.  Often a providers system does use what it sees in your SPAM folder to train its own spam filters (one of the reasons many providers will tell you not to delete spam immediately, but leave it in the SPAM folder for a week to a month so their screening software can possibly learn from what's in there).

  • HT1688 My phone's iMessages are being sent to a the intended addressee. However in addition to him, his father's email account just recently started receiving our texts last night. How can we stop him from receiving our texts and replying in our thread?

    I've tried turning iMessage on and off, his son has deleted his iCloud account in suspiscion that that was the cause of the problem, etc.
    We've been texting for months without problem. This morning his son texts me, "Good morning," and then his father replies into our thread, "Good morning to you too!" I checked my contact, and I never had his father's email account before nor was his email a part of his son's contact. Please help me to stop him reading our messages. Thank you.

    You don't necessarily need to change the Apple ID for iMessage, in Settings > Messages > Received At > On each device have them uncheck any number/email that does not belong to that device

  • I have just had an iPad mini but all my messages are coming through on my iPad and iPhone how can I stop this happening

    I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?

    To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
    You might also look at this option for both devices.
    Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting.

  • Since ios 6 each mail i receive it send me a message how can i stop that ??

    since ios 6 each email i receive it send me a message ... how can i stop that please ....

    I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is  a POP acct
    I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...

  • My contacts are receiving spam from my email, how can I stop?

    What is the best way to scan for virus on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.8).  Yesterday at 10am I started receiving numerous bounced emails in my inbox from random contacts in my address book-some that are very old and I haven't used for years (hence the bounce-back).  Also had a few friends email me back saying they were getting spam from me.  Shut down my computer and it seemed to stop, however this morning at 10am it started all over again!  Yikes!  I have three mail accounts including yahoo mail which is where some of the contacts came from originally, although I have since added them to my Mac address book. What is my best course of action?  Thanks for your help!!!

    Yahoo email is famous for beiing hacked and has nothing to do with your computer. Most of the time.
    That is not to say it is your Mac that is doing this.
    If you really think it is something on your Mac then turn it off for a day and see if these contacts are still gettig emailsfrom you on that day. If they are and you did not use your computer that day then it is your Yahoo email system that has been hacked.
    Also what you could do right now is log on to your Yahoo email and change the password. If the emails stop then again it is your Yahoo email acount that has been hacked and not your Mac.

  • Verizon spam filter not working---how can I stop the massive influx of SPAM?

    For more than 5 months I have tolerated the massive influx of Spam from my emial account.  I check my spam filter settings, my outlook junk mail settings, and even resorted to deleting spam one by one.  There has to be some solution to stopping this push of junk mail from the server to my inbox.  
    Any ideas and suggestions?

    SPAM Detector tool - for incoming email only
    What does SPAM DETECTOR tool do?
    Your ability to communicate with family or friends can be hindered by unsolicited email or "spam". If you have your SPAM Detector ON, it will sift and catch unsolicited emails sent to your email account and either present them in the SPAM Detector folder or delete them. (Note: You can adjust your SPAM Detector settings in the Settings/Email Settings tab within Message Center.)
    Furthermore, if there are emails you deem as SPAM, you can “Mark as SPAM” by selecting the email from your email inbox list view and select SPAM icon from top menu bar. It will put the email in your SPAM Detector folder and send an email to the VZ Abuse team and third party vendor to evaluate. If it is deemed SPAM, SPAM Detector definitions/rules will be updated.
    Please note that marking email as SPAM does not add the email to the Blocked Senders list. Furthermore, SPAMMERs rarely use the same email address more than once to send SPAM.
    With that said, You should start doing the following:
    You- should start reporting the spam with a spam button in the webmail client
    For-ward spam emails that were not caught to [email protected]
    Set your e-mail filter. An e-mail filter and spam blocking software are absolutely critical. Set these security measures to update automatically to ensure that you are protected from the latest threats.
    NEVER reply to spam. Replying to spam, even to "unsubscribe," could set you up for more spam.
    Protect your e-mail address and instant message ID. If you must post this information online, set up two identities, one for real use and one for online activities.
    Be wary of e-mail attachments. Change the settings on your e-mail program so that images and attachments are not opened automatically. Only open attachments from users known to you.
    Watch out for phishing scams. Don't click on links in e-mails or instant messages unless the sender is known to you. Instead, open a separate web browser and visit the site directly.
    Create smart and strong passwords. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
    Never enter your personal information in a pop-up window. You may not be able to tell when a scammer has hijacked a seemingly legitimate site.
    Don't fill out online surveys, or register for contests or fan clubs. These may be fronts for spammers trying to collect your e-mail address

  • Somebody else is using my email address as an appleid in other iphone, how can I stop them ?

    Yesterday I received an email from Apple <[email protected]> requiring me to verify an apple ID with my email address; how can I prevent/stop somebody else from using my email as an ID??

    You can't.  Only the person that signed up for that Apple ID (using that email address as the name) and has the password to that Apple ID can modify that Apple ID house a different email account.
    Nothing about your personal email account is at risk.  It just means that someone probably made a typo (maybe they have a very similar email address to yours), and they never got the verification email.  You did instead.  No one at Apple can change that for you.
    Again; only the person that has the password to that Apple ID can adjust the primary email address of that account.
    How to reset your Apple ID password.
    Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
    Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
    You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
    If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

  • Firefox has started blocking all incoming photographs in emails-how can I stop it?

    Recently, Firefox has started blocking incoming photographs within emails, even those from trusted friends.
    If I open the email in Internet Explorer the images are there within the email.

    Which web based mail service are you using?
    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
    There are also extensions like Adblock Plus (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • I have a big problem. iphoto started deleting albums from my facebook. How can I stop it from deleting my fb albums?  Why is it doing this?

    I uploaded a few photos from a memory card and went on iphoto to crop a few. When I finished a message box popped up stating Your album titled " ____"  was deleted from facebook.  The photos are still in your iphoto library. The only choice that you have is OK.  I did a option command escape and forced quit out of iphotos. I thought this might stop the fb album from being deleted...but it didnt!  The album was deleted from my facebook page!  The next time that I opened iphoto a message box popped up and again another facebook album was deleted.  I am now afraid to open iphoto!  How do I make this stop?  Note; I do have a lot of photos on my macbook pro and they are all backed up on an external drive. I like keeping the pictures on my mac but if it comes down to it I would rather delete files from my laptop than lose them on fb. HELP!!!!

  • How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

    Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

    See these articles for some suggestions:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

    i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.
