Lately I've been receiving friend requests from girls whom I don't know personally. What could be the reason?
I've been on Facebook for quite a number of years—long enough to know that random girls who send me friend requests on Facebook are really far more likely to be middle-aged men running networks of fake “dating” sites registered in Russia or Cyprus and running on servers in Kiev.You can spot them pretty easily. The profile pic is a bikini picture or a bathroom selfie in a skimpy dress. The Facebook page is either nothing but hot photos or hot photos with one text entry saying something like “"Chillin with my friends tonight!” and a bunch of emojis.If you accept the friend request, you'll sooner or later get a Facebook message like “I'm looking for some sexy fun check out my naked pics ;) ;) go here >>>>>>” followed by a Google or Bitly shortlink. Clicking on it takes you through a series of redirectors to MegaFuckBook or some other phony pay-for-play scam “dating” site.There seem to be about four major players in this scam, and I get so many of these friend requests I have learned to identify which scammer runs which particular Facebook accounts. One scammer always steals the profile pics from Instagram. One scammer always creates fake Facebook accounts using three names drawn from a database, like “Cindy Tiffany Belle.” One scammer always posts fake Facebook status updates that consist of a string of emojis followed by a few words of text, like “dancing with my peeps,” followed by a sentence about being horny.The scams are pathetically transparent, yet invariably when I look at the profile I see they've hooked quite few guys who have accepted the friend requests, and I always wonder: are so many guys so desperate that they'll accept friend requests from anyone with a hot chick in a bikini as the profile pic?

How do I stop getting emails from websites I don't want to get emails from?
Yours is a question related to finding the "Holy Grail" ...Your problem is called SPAM, lots of unwanted and unsolicited e-mails coming into your mailbox. Getting rid of them is hard. The most common solution is to mark them as SPAM and let your e-mail system software handle them...that is, put them in a SPAM folder where they will eventually be deleted for good.Ah, but here is the delicate balance: Sometimes, an email is marked as SPAM when in reality you DID NOT want it discarded as such, this is a "False Positive (SPAM)", so, you have to tell or teach your email system to NOT put into SPAM mails coming from that sender, or maybe with "that" specific subject.... But them similar SPAM messages will pass thru and re-appear in your mailbox.And this is a never-ending story of SPAM management in the Internet era.SPAM is here and it won't go away in the foreseeable future, so, learn to leave with it.... Sorry for the bad news.

You can do this by creating filters to move the unwanted mail directly to the "Delete" folder.

This option is available from the "Tools" menu as well as "Message" menu ... You can either create a rule to handle your message from an existing mail.. when you can use -----> Message | Create Rule From Message... If you want to create a rule from scratch you can use the ------>Tools | Message Rules | Mail .... In setting a rule, You choose what the program should look out for in identifying a mail.... one or more words in the "From" field or "To" field or "Subject" field or "Message Text" email address ... etc Then you can set how the program should handle the mail.. send it to a folder directly ("Delete" folder or any other folder you may create" What is coming into your computer through outlook express is something you cannot regulate. What you receive is mail stored in a folder on your internet service providers computer or the mail provider from whom you have got your pop mail account (like mail services or your organisation web site etc). If they have a spam filter working on that computer, then they may block mail (they treat as spam) being delivered to their clients. You may report to them so that they may help you out ... If not, setting filters using outlook express is your only solution. http://www.futureaccountant.com/ http://www.schoolingkids.com/
Can I sue a company for not unsubscribing me when I request to be unsubscribed from a mailing list?
There is a well-known .com with whom I inadvertently signed up for weekly mailings. I have since attempted to unsubscribe, but their email unsubscribe link does not work. I emailed their technical support team, describing the problem and requesting that they manually unsubscribe me. They emailed me back saying they did, but they actually didn't, as I continue to receive emails from them. Can I sue this company? And would it be worth my time? (I guess being worth my time would mean winning more than $4,000.) Thanks
