They start off placing a different name other than my own in front of my email address.They offer prescription drugs at a discount. What's strange is at the very end there's several paragraphs of crazy jabber. Almost like a short story in code. But sounds like an incoherent nut wrote it. This has happened twice. How do I report this? I do have antivirus software and a firewall.
Has anyone out there received weird emails offering discount prescription drugs?network

Just ignore it and delete it.
The spammers have fleets of zombie computers on different networks sending the stuff out.
The only way to "beat" spam, so to speak, it to allow only "whitelisted" addresses/ips to get through.
Whitelisting is where you have a list of names that are okay to send to you. Obviously, this can prevent valid mail from getting to you, if you don't know where it is coming from.
As far as reporting it is concerned, good luck. You can research the source address and report it to the owning ISP, but they will almost never respond to you, and many just ignore it.
it's spam, and probably 95% of email users have received the same kinds of emails - i regularily get around 20+ a day.
