Err... well, I haven't had any problems with spam on my Gmail account. Why don't you use that "Report Spam" button?

Well it already is in the spam folder. I just want to know how to prevent them from spamming me. I tried to unsubscribe but it didn't work. At least i didn't get spam today and yesterday, maybe it needed some time to respond.

EDIT: I just got another mail. I think it is from the same spammer. I think the American government should send their overpaid special forces to assassinate those evil spammers.

I only get about 1 junk mail per week to my Hotmail account, and I've had it for 7 or 8 years now. So far, I haven't gotten any spam to my gmail, but then I haven't used my gmail that much yet.

Often times, unsubscribing from mail listings lead to even more spam because the spammer knows that your account is in use when they get that unsubscription.

Never click unsubscribe.

I only get about 3 pieces of spam on Hotmail, and none on Gmail.
