You need to report them to Gmail abuse. I just finished doing that for several of these senders. I Googled the “andri” email address, which is how I found your blog post.

Anyone who receives these emails should report them to Gmail abuse. These people have been sending me the same stupid questions for over a month now. They won’t go away — so we have to get their Gmail accounts shut down. I’ve been going all over the Internet and trying to motivate people toward this end. We have to make their spamming strategy too labor-intensive for them, by getting all of their accounts shut down (as many times as necessary). It’s the only way to make it stop.

The questions and answers appear to be used build content for sites such as goftp and xmediapartners; they run paid advertising beside the answers.
Search google with “If i us credit when i pay how long does it take to go threw?” you will find the question and answers at goftp [dot] com.
If you answered this question, perhaps you could demand some commission; handy extra earnings if it wasn’t for those IRS agents.

Ha! Wow – I just received an email from this SAME person. I figured it was someone intending to either scam me or spam me. So I did a google search on “andri.manager” to see what I could come up with! Anyway, here is the message she sent ME: “Hi,
Can you wear dark jeans in the summer? I have been thinking about this for a while and was hoping you might be able to shed some light on the subject.
A little advice would go a long way right now. Thanks. Thanks,
Susan” … ??? Not sure what this was leading up to, but it probably would have led to her asking for my bank account number…

I got that email as well, but it was signed as “James”. I believe he is a spammer who is harvesting active email addresses.

Hi, I’m Chris Hansen with To Catch a Tax Cheat…

If the Obama administration really wants to go after tax cheats, I humbly suggest he start with a look around his cabinet *coughTimGeithnercough*

Here’s the one I received (at work) from Andri.Manager@gmail.com — I work at a university in an international student support capacity.

“How much will food cost for a canadian university student for one year? Since you have experience, I was hoping you could give me some clues as to what you look out for.”

Please help me.

Thanks.

Gratefully,
Janet
