As this is such a pain to all of us, here are a couple of mods I've found. I've downloaded them to see if they really work.
WhisperBlocker--(Go to Downloads, then Chat Mods under Stand-Alone Add-ons)
Blocks whispers using a word filter that can be edited as the spammers try to change the ad message. The command /whisperblocker opens a simple menu.
ShutUp--(Listed Alphabetically)
Blocks all whispers except for guild members and people on your friends list. This one uses command lines. I've found two commands so far: /ShutUp disables the program. This same command with text following will be your reply to the sender. For example: /ShutUp I am not receiving whispers. This is what I have for my reply message.
I've put the links where you can find them in case some of you may want to try them out. I'm leaning more towards WhisperBlocker. The other should not allow any whispers from the general public and I'm not sure if that includes GMs as well. I'm thinking one or the other should help. Both may be overkill. LOL So there you have it. I hope they work out.

Very very helpful Chanina TY.
Also want to add that you will need to remove Spam Sentry if you have it installed. The GMs are going to block all reports coming from automated programs like Spam Sentry and not sure how that will affect it in game so best to get rid of it. ShutUp completely solves the current problem though. I also added DeclineDuel for those annoying duel requests I seemed to get every 10 minutes when in a town. DeclineDuel is also at wowace.com.
