SUMMARY:
- When you open an email that wasn’t marked as spam, hit the Report Spam (or similarly named) button instead of just deleting it. If you find a harmless message in the spam folder, do the opposite and mark it Not Spam.
- The easiest way to protect your email is to give it only to people or companies you trust. Create a secondary email to book hotels or shop online, and never enter your primary one on public pages, in surveys, or to set up accounts on any websites, except for official purposes.
- There are apps for everything these days, and filtering spam is no exception. Most services basically set up a smarter filtering system for your email after you give them the address.
- What you see as spam out of nowhere could actually be newsletters you’ve personally subscribed to at one point while shopping online or agreeing to some company’s policy without reading it. Instead of just deleting all those messages, try unsubscribing from them for good.
- Most email services let you preview the beginning of the email. Anything that tells you you’ve won the lottery, free cars, jewelry, or inherited millions of dollars is most likely to be spam, sorry!
- In case you happen to open that spam email, don’t take it any further. Only click URLs in emails you’re expecting to get from a credible source.
- Don’t ever respond to spam texts or click any links in them.
- You can help fight spam by reporting those that send it out. All you have to do is forward the unwanted message to 7726.
- The most obvious thing to do when you get unwanted correspondence is to block the sender. Yes, it’s a great way to stop one particular number from ever contacting you again.
- While ignoring a call from a suspicious or unknown number seems like the best thing to do, it’s quite the opposite. But picking it up and screaming at the spammer also isn’t an option! What you need to do is answer the call but remain silent.
- Since spammers hunt for active phone users, make them believe you aren’t one. Record the “this number has been disconnected or is no longer in service” message on your phone and play it whenever spammers call.
- As a smartphone user, you can choose from multiple apps that track and block fraudulent calls.
