Tips to Stop Spam

*Personal insight
In my personal view, spam is wrong because first and foremost it reduces the integrity and honesty in online businesses and transaction. Spam destroys the trust of the people in online operation for they hide their identity and force to send email to a person who doesn’t want to receive/ request it.


5 tips to stop spam

1.) You should have a least two types of email address and possibly three.
Lots of ISPs provide free e-mail addresses. So you can make two e-mail addresses, one for personal use for friends and colleagues and use the other one for disposable email accounts which will implies, those you can throw away at any time. They're used mainly in public postings, chat programs, and web forms. If you have a more complex e-mail address, it is less likely to receive spam than one that could be easily dictionary-atta


2.)Don't Reply or try to Unsubscribe from a Spammers List
You may receive an e-mail message which tells you to reply to unsubscribe from a list. Don't reply because If you reply the spammer now know that your mail address is active and you can expect to receive more not less spam. The best way to avoid spam is to never respond, and eventually they will give up. This can take a while but it works. Don't forget to put them on your blacklist also.

3.)Change your email address
If you are constantly getting too much spam to your present account and it doesn't look like it's going to go away then it may be better to get a new email address.
Consider to replace it with a new address and informing your contacts of the new address. Once you are on lots of spammers' mailing lists, it is likely that the address will receive more and more spam.

4.)Check those Checkboxes
When you sign up for something on the Web make sure that you check what check boxes are ticked and which ones are not on the Web. There is often innocent looking text at the end of the form quite often, the checkbox next to that text is already checked and your email address will be given to you don't know who. So it is best to read the description carefully as sometimes the box needs to be checked to stop your email address from being used and sometimes it need to be unchecked.

5.) Never buy any goods from spammers.
The spammers rely on very small percentages of people responding to spam and buying goods. If spamming becomes unprofitable and takes lots of effort for little return, spammers have less incentive to continue spamming. Never risk giving your credit card details to an unknown and unrepeatable source.
