Emails received but not my address

L

Please help! For the last 3 weeks I have been receiving sexually explicit
emails from different people but they all ask that I reply to
geocities.com/their ID.They are getting more frequent but the funny thing
is,they don't have my address in the to box.They are all to different
addresses but have the same IP that I have. They started out with one every
day and now there are 15-20. I have never been to this sight. I have been
adding them to my block sender and sender domain lists but they just use
different addresses each time. Call me dumb or boring but I only have 3
sights I visit and they definitely don't have anything to do with sexual
content. Is there a way to stop these emails and why do I get them if they do
not have my address in the" to" box? Thank you

Every time you get one of those, forward it to (e-mail address removed)
with a request that they take appropriate disciplinary action against
their member.

Emails are not necessarily delivered by what you see in the 'To' field
of a received email. If someone sends you an email via BCC addressing,
your email address will not be in the 'To' field.

Most of them won't reuse an address, so adding them to Block Senders will
just slow your mail down. Message rules can help some, but nothing can
totally prevent them.
