Spoof emails

If the are spam they will usually go to your spam folder. Just delete them without opening them then..

Set up another email address, I suggest gmail. Only give this address to your nearest and dearest, your bank and other trusted institutions. Keep the other one for buying online and keep just deleting the spoof emails without opening them.

I trust you have good anti-virus installed?
