Tips to avoid email spam

Email spam is the unsolicited email you receive to your email account. Usually, spam are emails advertising unsolicited products or services. This type of emails can be dangerous because spam emails will try to sell you a fraud service or product, or lead you to a malicious website and steal your personal information.

Here are some tips to avoid spam emails:

• Don't provide your email address easily. Make sure you are providing it to a trusted company.
• When you sign up for something on the Web, sometimes you are asked if you would like to receive offers from third parties. Try to avoid selecting this option. Usually, this option is a check box that you have to uncheck in order to avoid subscribing to third party offers.
• If you get unsolicited spam email, don't open any attachments and don' click on any links in the email. Delete the spam email immediately.
• Never reply to a spam email. If you do, you'll just confirm your email address, and you will receive even more spam.
• Don't buy anything from a spam email offer. If you do, you are putting your personal and credit card information at risk.
• Protect your computer with an antivirus software that provides spam protection.
• If you are receiving too many spam emails to your email account, it means your email address is already on the spammers lists. Consider opening a new email account and closing the old one.

It is a good practice to use two email account. You can use one email account for your personal communication, and use another one if you wish to subscribe to services or newsletters on the Web. This method will avoid exposing your personal email address too much.
