UPS and Tax Refund messages

brianb

I am being continually barraged by these two phishing and Malware emails (UPS Delivery and "Tax Refund Application" - as if!). The first comes in a batch of spam including the same one every time from Mariner Software so I suspect this is where my email address was obtained by the spammers.I run Sophos and erase and delete the emails and attachments in my library/mail/etc accounts but they raise their heads again like in Deliverance. Any ideas how to rid me of these troublesome trysts?

    Well, fingers crossed, I ran a custom scan specifying that it look inside everything and delete whatever it found. It tells me it found one item and nothing has popped up again since.  I believe that there was/is a file there that was generating the emails as they were not coming in over the wire - they did not get caught by the filters as a result but responded if I manually applied the filters.  Thanks again and I hope it is the last I see of them or at least that I will now be able to dispose of them as soon as they come by running the scan.
