Getting Weird Spam - Need Assistance

[reelwild]

I've been getting a lot of spam in the past week that's titled "Your Account is Suspended For Security Reasons" which is shown as sent from some name@my web address to my usual name@ my webaddress. What is this and how do I get rid of them? I just changed the default account as described in a previous post and I will take our linkable email address off our website. Is there anything else I need/or can do? They're driving me crazy!

 

Thanks!

These types of emails are common when you have your own domain. All you can do is ignore/delete them.

There is a great "tutorial" written by TCH-Jim that you can read here

Thanks! I had just read the tutorial and implemented a few of the suggestions. I was just concerned - and annoyed

Yep, I even received one that looked like it came from my local county web site,

telling me my website has been cancelled.
