    Is there anywhere I can forward a suspicious email to? This morning I found out that I had won a half a million bucks from the U.K. New Years on line lottery. I didn't enter it and they want all my relevant information.I'm using vista home premium, and I'm not sure how or who to forward this too. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tim

    Hello Tim,

    I would ignore it - delete it. Unless this a regular occurance from the same source, this is par for random distribution of spam for collecting info if someone is stupid enough to respond.

    I'm moving this thread to the General Security section.

    Regards - Charles

    Hi Tim,

    No.

    Others will respond with links to anti spam tools and advice on how to handle things like this.

    suspicious email was blocked

    Either defender/spysweeper/trend caught it, Iwas simply wondering if I could forward it on to someone. Thanks for your time and support.

    Personally, I would just ignore it.
