With the internet, you can easily communicate with others through email. Yes, internet is helping us in a lot of ways. But are you sick and tired of receiving unsolicited advertisements? Is your inbox getting filled with those nasty advertisements? Here are some things to help you get rid of those annoying SPAMs.
SPAM is a common term for unsolicited email wherein a certain organization or business ends out massive email messages to a number of recipients for different purposes but mostly for advertisements.
There are actually several ways on how to get rid of this type of email messages. The most important thing in dealing with SPAMs is prevention. You should not enter your email address or post it in a website unless is it really necessary. Often times SPAM email senders get email addresses from websites just by scanning it for a specific format that matches the pattern of an email address. There are also companies which sell email addresses to large companies for advertisement purposes.
Your email provider has a feature to combat this type of cybercrime. If you have received an email from an unidentified source, you can mark it as a spam. Your email service provider will then automatically save all messages coming from that particular sender to the SPAM folder instead of your INBOX.
SPAM emails often contain a link to stop subscription. This link is actually at the end portion of the email. Sometimes you are receiving SPAM because you entered your email into a website and agreed to receive newsletters, updates, news, and other types of email messages. So the next time you enter your email address, make sure that you read carefully what is written and do not just submit it.
Lastly, if your email is really filled up with SPAM messages and it seems that there is nothing that you can do to fix it, your last resort would be to change your email address.
