Spam-stopping hints:
If you have an e-mail address, you
have spam.
Spam refers to any unwanted e-mail, but it is usually a form of
advertising.
Be careful about disclosing your e-mail address.
Spammers use programs that search chat rooms, Internet sites,
newsgroups-anywhere e-mail addresses can be found-and use that information
to compile their mailing lists.
- Set up an e-mail address just for use with Internet transactions-and
keep your real address private. You can obtain a free address for this
purpose at Yahoo or MSN Hotmail.
- Share your primary e-mail address only with people you know.
- When including your e-mail address in online profiles or on a personal
website, disguise your e-mail address by writing it in "plain
English" e.g. 'Alice at Verizon dot net ', or embedding it into a
graphic. That way, your address is still intelligible by humans but not by
e-mail gathering software.
- Beware of pre-checked boxes when registering for online services or
shopping indicating you will "accept" e-mails from that
organization. Uncheck those boxes if you prefer not to receive that
organization's messages.
- When subscribing to email notifications or newsletters ensure that you
have reviewed the website or company privacy policies about selling or
distributing your e-mail address.
You can help the fight against spam by not forwarding
e-mail that contains other e-mail addresses. Do not expose your friends
addresses. Simply use BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) when you e-mail everyone in
your address book. This practice also helps in the fight against e-mail
viruses.
