Avoid posting your e-mail address in public
| |
Many spammers buy e-mail address lists from brokers who compile their lists by "harvesting" addresses from Internet newsgroup postings, Web sites, chat rooms, membership directories for online services and other sources. Harvesters sometimes employ 'web crawlers', which is basically a program that will search an entire page for all the e-mail addresses listed. If your address is posted for all to see, then you are vulnerable to junk e-mail.
