I get one almost every day. I immediately report it as spam, but they keep coming.

Oh yes!!

Many times! And I don't use McAfee.
I also get them for Norton.
But I know when my Norton expires and I look at the source of the email - all bogus.


I either mark them as spam or report them. It depends on how I feel at the moment.

Yup.
They each originate from a new place.

The spelling is so that spam filters won't catch "those words" but people will "auto-correct" them in their mind when they read them. Most people put the correct spelling onto spam filters.

I think I get at least one every day, usually with better spelling. Two today and one yesterday.

Oh yeah and many others. I wish there was some way to trace them back to a physical location. Me and some friends of mine would like to visit them and get our accounts up to standard

Returning it just tells them they found an active e-mail account. Just delete it.

In my case I ignored them anyway because McAfee was part of my internet bundle from my Cable Company. They now a customized (at least they say it is) version McAfee did just for them and their customers that a cute name.
