I do not live in the UK, but many of these spam stock emails are coming from outside the US which is where I do reside. Within the past 8 months I have received hundreds of these annoying emails with absolutely no interests in reading them. In fact, I am apprehensive to open them thinking that they may be someones way of hacking into my computer. I just simply send them to junk mail without opening them. My concern...HOW THE HECK DO I STOP IT? Any suggestions? Thanks, NYC
