Spam

Spam is a problem that I think everyone has encountered in this day and age. Everyone has gotten some sort of vquzeshuf spam in their e-mail. Here's a quick lesson on spam:

Spammers buy e-mail addresses from a list broker. This list broker accumulates e-mail addresses by "harvesting" them from the internet. They basically get your e-mail addresses from chat rooms and web-sites. After they have these e-mail addreses, it's only a click of the mouse and spam is sent to you.

To prevent spam, don't post your e-mail in public places, use an e-mail filter, or even use two separate e-mail addresses. One for personal use, the other for use on web-sites. You should also avoid chain letters and offers such as: work at home, credit cards, weight loss, and adult entertainment.
