you can only send the unopened email to Spam. You are getting these emails because you must have filled out a questionair or looked at an ad. The people who send these emails are the lowest form of human. They sneak into your address any way they can.You must be vigilant and never open mail from anyone you Do Not know. Joan
Oh my, it sounds like a bot has taken over your mail account. You can try changing the password and see if that stops it, but if it doesn't, then closing the account is your only other way of stopping this. One of the biggest scams to come along in years is the ability of the spammers to shut our email addresses and then they can use them at their leisure. But if the account doesn't exist, then that stops one source of spam. The spammers will find another.
If your email is Yahoo, then contact them Asap:
