Default WHOA! Someone please make it STOP!!

Please Login to Remove!

All of the sudden, I am getting 30-50 junk emails sent to my 7250 since last night. I cannot think what has caused this to happen so suddenly. I did not sign up for anything on any site. Is there a way I can configure my device, the 7250, the get rid of these before they end up in my mailbox?

The weird thing is, I only get them on my device, but not to my laptop where I also get copies of all my messages sent to me. I am a Webclient and use my work email address on my 7250.

Anyone that knows anything about this that can help me end the madness, it would be appreciated.


Thank you

Well, SMS messages feature a slanted envelope icon. Regular e-mails have a rectangular envelope icon.

Which does your spam show as?

Gwt an email account and forward all your email to it, then forward that to your BB, the spam filter they have there is super. I used to get 200+ pieces of spam a day and now i get a few a week.

There not [email address] emails are they?? If so that has nothing to do with SMS but instead would indicate that Redirector has most likely been setup somewhere...
