Spam - No One wants to find this in their email! Why you Get Spam and how to Stop Spam!  The shoe scrapings of the Internet!

Stop Spam: Try Out Spam Bully (FREE TRIAL)

Spam! the unsolicited advertisement for products from Viagra to Stocks and bonds that you probably don't want or need! Not to mention that dealing with companies who attempt to solicit your business by sending out thousands of emails to people who didn't ask for the information just doesn't make a lot of sense and could end up costing you in your credit card number being stolen, your identity being stolen or at the very least, getting a "product" that either is much less than what you expected, getting nothing at all except a charge on your card, or even dangerous (as in offers for cheap prescription drugs)

Aside from unsolicited advertising, you can also get mail that looks like it's from a legitimate site with a link that takes you to what looks like the legitimate site like Ebay (click here for information specific to Ebay) the purpose here is to trick you into supplying your personal information and credit card.. you can guess why!

90% of the time you get spam from providing your email address to something online.  You've subscribed to a newsletter, participated in a survey, joined an online community, downloaded free or shared software, been one of the recipients of a forwarded email or you have a website or your company does that list's your unencrypted email address within the site.

Do NOT respond to spam

Do NOT click on the "remove me" or "unsubscribe" link (you are only verifying that you truly exist and you will get MORE not LESS spam)

DO get yourself a disposable email address and use it for any online signups, subscriptions and downloads

DO make use of your email program's or ISP's available spam filters

DO remember to use the BCC: field when forwarding emails and to remove the sometimes massive lists of email addresses that are attached to the email before sending.

DO Visit this site - an amazingly complete resource about spam - if you can't find the answer to your spam question there I'd be shocked.
