be anti-spam friendly
Here some tips on how you can be anti-spam friendly
never buy any products or services advertised
in spam messages
Buying
products and services advertised in spam emails supports
the spamming community. If no-one purchases the products
and services offered in spam messages, then businesses
will stop paying to advertise their products, and the spammers
will lose clients and money. Also you may never see the product,
as more often that not, it’s a fraudulent operation.
protect the email addresses of your family, friends and
colleagues
When sending mass emails to your contact lists,
send them using the BCC field (blind copy). By doing this
you are ensuring
their privacy and protecting their email addresses from others.
Encourage everyone you know to do this.
avoid forwarding chain emails
Often we receive emails that
make us laugh, sad or even ask us to support a particular
cause. Normally, it requests
that you forward it on to your friends and family (and
sometimes they even say you’ll be granted a wish
by doing so). Avoid the temptation and just delete it as
it’s likely to be a hoax. Spammers love these types
of emails as it’s a great way to capture lots of
addresses.
protect for viruses
We recommend that you have anti-virus
software installed on your computer. Often spam messages
contain viruses,
so SpamTrap will catch these.
