1. Email Spam? No
Please!

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.

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.

Three criteria for Email Spam:
Anonymity - The address and identity of the sender
is concealed.
Mass Mailing – The email is sent to large group of people.
Unsolicited – The email is not requested by sender

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
