yGreetings:

In the last month or so I have been receiving spam that is not only vulgar and disgusting, it is illegal!! No matter how many times I have removed form email from their list, nothing works. I do not know where these freaks get people's emails. I suppose where any other spammer would. And this mail is just shy of child pornagraphy. I have written to microsoft. No response.
Their must be something I can do. I want to report them, because if they are saying things such as "the "little girl" next door. I am sure they will show pedifiles where to go to see that horror!!!!
Please, help me.

Thank you
Moondove
