- The most effective way to avoid spam is to keep your email
address to yourself. Spammers can't get your address if you don't
make it public. Only give your address to friends, family and
co-workers, and ask them not to circulate it.
- Whenever you fill out Web registration forms, surveys and so
on, avoid typing in your email address. If you are required to
do so, look for a box that asks you if it is okay to send similar
offers or information to you. Make sure you say no. Alternately,
leave the email field of online forms blank, or if an email addressed
is required use a decoy.
- We recommend that you do not reply to "Remove me from
this list" addresses, as this only confirms that your e-mail
address is active and directs more unwanted e-mail to your account.
Also be wary of clicking on URLS embedded in unsolicited messages,
as this may reveal your address to that Web site.
- Do not respond to spam. Sending Spammers e-mail requesting that
they cease spamming you will probably just incite them to send
you even more Spam messages.
