Anyone else getting these and any idea how to get rid of them, for good?

I've run various types if virus scans and they do stop for awhile, but eventually come back. I also have about a ton of these already blocked in my blocked email list.

I doubt you'll ever get rid of it completely.
You could use a wildcard block on some domains ie: *@checkmate.com
and you can block certain keywords that you wouldn't normally expect in a subject line like Loan and Laptop etc.

Funny that you'd suggest that, as I was going to do that but I could not find a consistant pattern, but now that I see the latest ones, you're right I may give it a try. thanks@

I really think these started when I inquired into a car ad on Kijjii.....

I got one supposedly from Fed Ex telling me my parcel wasn't delivered.
I almost opened it thinking it was about satellite receivers I had sent back to Bell, then realized they went by Purolator and I didn't give them my email addy.
Whew

One word.

Gmail

Do you mean it's a gmail SPAM?

I'm using Outlook Express with Aliant....

Outlook is horrid for spam. If you blink on a page you GET MAIL.

Get a Gmail account. Travels with you and trainable.

I have a Gmail account for that very reason.

You can also use thunderbird for both your isp email account and online accounts such as gmail, yahoo mail, and hotmail. You can also send yourself new gmail invites and have some accounts for sites that require email accounts for registration etc.

- Use GMail. If you don't, never use Outlook Express.
- Never open an e-mail from family or friends or anyone that begins "FW: ".
- Never keep a contact list on any mailer or web-mailer - GMail forces you to have one, but that doesn't matter.
- Other than applying for things such as NetFlix, a Paypal account etc, give your e-mail only to friends, and ask them to please not include your name on mass-mailings, block them when they do.
- NEVER reply-all.
- When you do the foolish thing of opening a forwarded message and it is a chain-letter and if you pass it along to the required 3, 5, 10 or 20 people, you deserve what you got coming.

I never get spam. At work I saw one from "Paypal" show up confirming a purchase on the business email account. The next day another e-mail showed up "warning" of a scam where someone is faking a PayPal purchase and you can report them by "Clicking here and following the instructions"! Nice scam if they'd hit a personal account.

I have no issues with Outlook Express or Aliant's Webmail facility and I don't normally have these problems.....I use GMAIL for other stuff to keep my main email account free from this stuff....
