Stop Spam

Spam is unsolicited, unwanted e-mail showing up in your e-mail account. Getting a ton of spam? There are certain things you can do to defeat the onslaught of unwanted messages. Read further for more information.

Do not display your e-mail address in public.
If you do get an unwanted e-mail from a company that you know for sure you neither visited, nor have heard of, do not respond to any unsubscribe attempts. This is a trap and identifies you as a real person behind the e-mail.
Turn off autoresponses.
Submit an e-mail address that you have specifically for submitting information to companies.
Do not forward jokes. These also expose your e-mail address to spammers.
Be leary of electronic greetings cards. Some are being used to spam from your computer and contact list.
If you do get spam, report it to the FTC with this e-mail address: uce(at)ftc.gov

At ProMission we can also setup e-mail filtering software that will help with this increasingly annoying and time wasting problem. Just like computer viruses, it is necessary to block these time wasting messages from delaying company staff. Contact us if you need help defeating spam at your company.
