Question:
What should I do when I receive Spam/Scam email?
Answer:
Here are a few tips:
Never reply
to Spam or suspicious buyers' messages, even when they entice you to reply to "remove" you from their mailing lists. Often the instructions are either bogus, or a way to collect more addresses. Replying confirms to the spammers that your e-mail address is active, and you may receive even more junk mail.
Dont flame (send a rude message) or mail bomb
the spammers address. Many spammers forge e-mail addresses to hide their real identity, so you may be flaming or bombing a nonexistent account or, worse, the account of an innocent person.
Dont buy or sell anything
through unsolicited advertising by e-mail, even if the product is something you want. By buying you legitimize spam, and thus add to the problem. Moreover, many of these offers are fraudulent.
