I am curious about how you do that, too. I know that I can and they will go in my spam folder, but I don't know how to automatically delete them.

Thanks in advance for the info.

The next time you get a message from a source you don't want to hear from, put it in the junk folder. Don't open it. Just check it and put it in junk. If you do open it, put it in junk. Your computer will put all future messages from that person in the junk folder and you will never know you received it unless you go looking for it. froggyintexas

You are lucky that you only get e-mails. I bought something from her and she kept on sending me cd's which I did not
ask for. Also she charged my creditcard monthly for those cd's.
Never never get involved with her!!!!!!!

Then a new wave of emails came from other websites that are tied to her website started coming, too. I can’t remember the names of the sites, but they were rather numerous.

Some days I would get three and four messages from her and her posse. It started filling up my mail box because I didn’t have time to read them all. Sometimes the mail would have good tips and others would sound like she was going to give good tips but you would find out half way through her lengthy letter that she was selling the tips and instructions.

Finally, I unsubscribed to her emails. At first I heard nothing from her, then one day an email popped up from her and then another and another. I unsubscribed again and the same thing would happen a few months later. I tried calling them to ask them to take me off their list, but they ask you to leave a message, then you find out that their mailbox is too full to take a message. I’ve tried several different times and the voice mail box is always full. This will make the fourth time I have unsubscribed to her website.

Has anyone else had this problem? Did you get it resolved? If so, please let me know how you did it.

AND if you haven’t signed up for her website, please let this be a warning to all…

Thanks for your help and listening to me vent.

I direct emails like that to my spam box, and I never hear from them again - at least so far! How provoking! Hate it when these things happen.... why do they try to take advantage of people? gues it is the way of the world anymore... seems to happen more often than not.

Penny's site is where I started my "lessons" and I have purchased a few items from her. Then, I found this site and have learned so much here ... at no cost. I still receive her emails and have participated in a couple of her Webinars but I've stopped opening most of her email ... and the email from her cat, Jackson !!

I too have Microsoft Outlook In the message rules you can click on Block sender. I usually click on that to get rid of unwanted emails. Whenever I order anything online or if they want my email addy, I use my Yahoo addy. You can mark it spam then it will go to a folder for Spam

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. In the beginning, there were good FREE tips, but now I just hit the delete button, haven't unsubscribed yet,but I will. I hope I can happily unsubscribe, but won't hold my breath after what you just said. Thanks for the info, I thought it was only me. Happy quilting, without Peggy.

She is a phoney and sends endless emails hocking her worthless wares. After being sent so many emails I finally unsubscribed her and sent her stuff to SPAM.

I am so glad to hear I am not the only one that had a problem with Penny! It started out so innocently when I checked out her "free" block site. Have unsubscribed to everything Penny!

I had the same experience with getting too many emails and sales pitches but unsubscribing worked for me.

Thanks I've deleted her website to I can't believe they just get you in there and send crap to you and if you want one of the blocks you have to pay for it when the same blocks somewhere else is free...Wish we could all send emails back and fill her email box with junk......
