It's a pretty vague question.
How are they spamming? are most of them trying the same methods?
Is most of them from one or 2 servers in Africa?

Either figure out something to twart their MO or blacklist the servers.

I get emails on a daily basis also asking me to update my Paypal account (which is sent to the incorrect email account), my eBay account (which I do not have), my Washington Mutual account (which I do not have), etc

There is really nothing that you can do except report these emails

This is called the 419 scam. Google that and see what you come up with
