Answer 1

I just mark them spam and my email address provider sends them ot the spam folder and I never see them again.

Answer 2

Really the only way to stop it completely is to change your email address.  These people are professional scammers, so they know workarounds to blocking.

That doesn't mean blocking the sender is a bad idea.  You should be able to reduce the number of emails you receive that way and by reporting then to your ISP.  

How many of these are your getting?  My ISP does a pretty good job filtering these out so they don't even reach my inbox but rarely.   If you are getting inundated by these 419 scam emails, and you can't get any relief by your ISP and spam filters then changing your address, tho a drastic measure, would be about your only option.  

Then be very careful who you give your email address to, once spammers and scammers get a hold of it, it's "in the system" and gets bought and sold repeatedly.

Whatever you do, DO NOT ever answer any of these emails.  The delete button is great scam filter.

Answer 3

Well, you could get a client with a better spam filter.  Some of those messages will still find their way through though. It's unavoidable.

Just ignore them.  It's not necessarily illegal either, since you can't prove that they've actually done anything yet.  There's no law that says someone can't email you repeatedly about the same topic.  People who have already fallen victim to these scams are the ones who will have to get these guys prosecuted.

Answer 4

Sounds like the 419 scam its been going on for a looooooooooong time, just don't reply and block the sender
