Nigerian style email scams

[topher5150]

Almost everyday I for about 6 months I have received some sort of nigerian scam email. Today was no acception except I have received 13 of these emails in less than an hour. Is there any way to get rid of these bastards

The problem is, reverse-scamming them is really very time consuming.
I've done it for a while, but it tends to get boring pretty quick.

There are some brilliant ones on that website though.

Never reply to any email. If you reply they know the account is active and can pursue it. If you just delete them after 30 days you shouldn't get anymore. Don't even open it up. Sometimes opening it up will send a confirmation to the sender that it has been opened.

that's the thing, my email goes to my phone and any time i unlock the keypad (blackberry pearl) it opens the email automatically

If I were rich I'd fly over there to "meet" them with mercenaries.
