Tech Tips - Spam Mails

Spam Mails
Most of us get spam mails every day. If you have an e-mail account it is always there causing headaches to many one of us. If you have an e-mail address, it's just about impossible for you to eliminate spam completely. However, there are steps you can take to reduce the risks from unsolicited commercial e-mail. Here are some methods for hitting the spam.
v  Do not spread your email address in the cyber world. Treat your email address like your phone number- something you give out selectively.
v  Pick an address that is hard for spammers to guess and easy for you to remember. Also, if chatting online, use a unique screen name that is not associated with your e-mail address.
v  Spammers usually get your email address via chat rooms, mailing lists, websites, customer lists, newsgroups, and viruses which harvest users' address books, and are sold to other spammers. Make sure that you do not join mailing lists, groups and newsletters unnecessarily.
v  Do not forward chain e-mails. Spammers can get bulk of email addresses from chain mails.
v  At any time you receive a spam email, never try to open it. Or if you have opened an email which appears to be spam, then don't reply to the mail and never try to click any of the links in the mail.
v  While you post your email address as a link in any website or blog, always try to obfuscate the email address.
