How to STOP Junk Email.

Nothing makes me angrier than opening my email inbox to find over 50 messages, wading through them all, and discovering that 28 of the messages rate as nothing more than junk.

The problem with junk email or “spam” (the popular slang for unsolicited commercial email) only seems to get worse with each passing day.

Luckily, we can fight back in ways that will actually cut down significantly on the amount of spam we receive on a daily basis.

Try these tips and see if they can’t cut the spam you
receive down by at least half.

1. Never Post Your Email:
Never post your private email address in forums, guest books, news groups or on a website. Spammers use little robots that comb the Internet looking for email addresses they can collect and sell to others.Always use a free account or set it up so you can shut off the exposed email address once the spam gets too bad.

2.Use a Temporary Email

Maintain a public and private email address and never give your private email to anyone other than family and friends.Go sign up for a free email account with Hotmail.com;Gmail or mail.yahoo.com to use whenever you subscribe to a newsletter or request a free report. That way, if the spam ever gets too bad, you can simply abandon the free account and open another.Your private email address should remain safe because nobody will know it except the people you trust.

3. Use Your Filters:

Your email program most likely contains filters you can use to weed out emails containing the usual spam words like “opportunity, $$, sex, viagra” and a host of others.You can set the filters to delete messages containing these words before ever downloading them to your computer.

4. Don’t Respond

Much of the spam you receive contains an “unsubscribe” link saying something like “To unsubscribe, click here.” Do NOT click that link.Clicking it lets spammers know they’ve got a live email address!
