Spammers and your Email Account

Do you remember how useful email was before spam? Its been that long that many of us dont and we have merely accepted that when you sign up an email account you are excepting the fact that you are going to become another victim of spam on a daily basis.

The sending of spam or bulk mail sadly works due to the fact it is such a cheap medium to use to get a message to thousands of people at the same time. The cost of spam always lies with the receiver as it costs time, money and resources to deal with the flood of spam mail that comes through our inbox on a daily basis; this is especially evident in the work place where numerous hours are lost while employees sort through their mail to actually read ones that are genuine.

If you dont already have a spam filter software set up on your email account I thoroughly suggest that you do so as a spam filter will help to stop you becoming more of a victim of spam. A spam filter will stop spam in its tracks before it gets anywhere near your inbox.

Spam is a cat and mouse game as spammers are constantly trying to outwit the spam filters. This is why it is important that you ensure you have an up-to-date spam filter set up on your email account and that you keep check on this to ensure that if your filter does need up dating that you can do so.

Spam email is the biggest form of spam around. Spammers send large quantities of mail to an ever growing list of recipients and today spam now accounts for up to 85% of all mail that is sent.

When it comes to spam emails you should always remember:

" Dont open it " Just delete it " Dont reply to it " Never send out personal details, especially bank details " Dont buy from spammers " Dont open attachments " Dont forward chain emails

Spam is mostly advertisements trying to get you to visit adult sites, buy pharmaceuticals and join online gambling websites; however a new type of spam mail is now emerging in the form of email scams.

Many of you are probably all too familiar with what is meant by email scams. Have you ever, for example, received an email claiming that your email address has won a lottery entitling you to thousands of dollars? This is a prime example of one of the email scams that is now reaching more and more people. Often these scammers describe how if you send your bank details the money will be transferred when really these spammers are after your personal details for identity theft and your bank details to clear out your account. It is highly important that the only action you take to emails such as these is none. Another highly popular email scam that is making its rounds is one that describes how money belonging to business people or family members of former government officials in Nigeria or another country is tied up. They offer to transfer lots of money into your bank account if you will pay a fee to help them access their money. If you respond to the initial offer, you may receive documents that look official. Then they ask you to send money to cover costs for transaction, transfers and legal fees, as well as your bank account numbers or other information. They may even encourage you to travel to Nigeria or a border country to complete the transaction. These emails are merely sent by scammers who are trying to steal your identity along with the contents of your bank account; again ensure that the only action you take to these emails is none

A spam filter will severely help to reduce the amount of spam emails that you are receiving on a daily basis. If you havent already invested in one do it now and bring an end to the spam today.
