I receive at least ten mails everyday telling me I have won millions of euros and dollars. Some mails request a donation of cash. All these mails really want you to reply to them. They collect personal information and use it is some sinister scam. How do you treat such mails?

I report and block them all. Sometimes if it lists an actual bank. I will forward it to the bank... To report it as a scam, and they can take action from there. Also for people who keep getting those paypal scams forward them to spoof@paypal.com ...
That is what I do...
I'll do research and see if we can find out who to forward in reporting these two before blocking and deleting.

First I report them and next delete them. They take your money and you never hear from them again. Guess some people think this is the proper way to make a living. I'd never send any money to anyone online and won't join sites that require payment.

Ten emails a day is too many for me. I just recieved 2 to 3 times a month and as always I just delete them immediately. My time is precious and I value every seconds of it. I have no time from fooling around reading those funny emails. There's nothing good I can get from it so what's the use of saving it on my folder?
If you want to stop recieving the same e-mails all over again I think you need to unsubscribe to their mailing list. If it is randomly sent to your e-mail address then you can block them to go directly to spam areas. I hope this may help you somehow.
