  1. Email Spam? No Please!

  2. BigRock Woke up this morning and found hundreds of unread mails in your inbox? Do you know how many out of those are Spam Emails? It’s a common misconception that emails in your ‘Inbox’ folder cannot be spam; however spammers these days are extremely smart. Here we explaining what Spam is and how you can safeguard yourself. 01

  3. BigRock Firstly, what is Spam? Email Spam is Junk Email you receive from unknown senders. Clicking on links within the email might direct you to a phishing website or sites that host malware. Spam email may also include malware as scripts or other executable file attachments. 02

  4. BigRock Three criteria for Email Spam: 03

  5. BigRock But why would anyone send me SPAM?! Spam email is a simple Math game. The more spam emails a spammer sends, the more likely he or she is to get recipients to respond to the email. If a spam email sender has a list of five million email addresses, only a small fraction of those need to reply to the spam message in order for it to result in significant financial turnover for the spammer. 04

  6. BigRock How does MONEY come into the picture here? If a person’s sending you Spam, there’s always some gain involved for him. On most occasions, your spammer has committed to a firm that he’ll provide them with your email address so that they can send you their newsletters, etc. Once your email address gets verified, the concerned firm pay the spammer for the mails he sent out. 05

  7. BigRock So now how do I save myself from being Spammed? 1. Try Disposable Email Addresses Using your real, primary email address anywhere on the web puts it at risk of being picked up by spammers.  A disposable email address will forward all mail to your real address. But won’t that also send you spam? Not really. If you dispose of the email address, you won’t receive any spam 06

  8. BigRock So now how do I save myself from being Spammed? 2. Every Checkbox isn’t meant to be Ticked! To avoid that, Look closely at every form you fill on the Web and Make sure all relevant checkboxes are not ticked. Sometimes, the text will read: “NO, don’t give away my email address,” and the checkbox will consequently be unchecked by default. Check it. 07

  9. BigRock So now how do I save myself from being Spammed? 3. Disguise your Email Address To avoid ending on a spammer’s mailing list when you post to a web forum or a newsgroup, you can disguise your email address by inserting something obvious into it. If your email address is me@example.com, you can modify it to read me@EXAdelete_thisMPLE.com, for example. You will not get spam at that email address since all messages to it will bounce. 08

  10. BigRock So now how do I save myself from being Spammed? 4. Domain Owners: Set up Throwaway Addresses to Fight Spam If you own a domain, you have a great anti-spam tool at hand: your mail server. You simply need to enable the “Catch-All” feature in your email which when activated allows you to catch all of the emails sent to your domain, whether the ID exists or not. 09

  11. BigRock So now how do I save myself from being Spammed? 5. Enable Privacy Protect You can also enable the ‘Privacy Protect‘ option for your Domain Name, your Domain provider replaces your Contact Details in the Whois information with it’s generic contact details, thus, masking your personal contact details. BigRock provides this service free of charge and is enabled by default for most domain extensions. 10
