INTRODUCTION
Computers are an integral part of life for nearly everyone in the world. Most of us can’t imagine our lives without our computers. We use them to run businesses, keep track of inventory, gather information, and to communicate. And if you are like me, it is very much a *love / hate* relationship!
Email is one of the conveniences of the computer age. It allows us to easily keep in touch with our friends, colleagues and family, and it can be a very powerful business tool, when used correctly.
The other side of the email coin is receiving messages from strangers. As much as we like to receive email from friends or business associates, none of us likes to receive emails from people we’ve never heard of, trying to sell us stuff we don’t want or trying to scam us with promises of great wealth. These emails are called spam.
Spam or UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email) is annoying at best, but it also costs businesses millions of dollars each year in wasted employee time, server space, and virus infiltration.
While it is impossible to completely stop spam, you can greatly reduce its appearance in your inbox and start saving yourself precious time.
What Is Spam?
Spam is unsolicited commercial email that companies send to your inbox. These companies get your email address in a variety of ways. You may have signed up for a newsletter or promotion, or you may have ordered a product or service that requires registration from a website.
It is common for companies to share their mailing lists with their affiliate companies. It’s one of the benefits to having affiliations. The only problem is that most companies hide this knowledge in their “terms and agreements” of their websites. They count on the fact that most people do not read all the way through them. Of course since it is mentioned somewhere in their website, it is perfectly legal.
The average person can expect to receive anywhere from ten to twenty spam messages a day in their inbox; depending on how many promos and registrations they fill out. Once a person accepts or opens an unsolicited email, they can be rewarded by receiving six more in its place. It is a vicious cycle, but you CAN slow it down.
Here is a short list of some of the things that may leave your inbox vulnerable to receiving spam.
