How To Avoid Common Spammer Tricks

Subjects > ... > Internet > Internet Culture Discussion > Common Spammer Tricks And Tips To Avoid Them

The spammer trick of choice these days is email spoofing. In email spoofing, the spammer uses a faked email header that makes an email message look like the message came from someone or somewhere other than the spammer.

This trick is so popular because it is easy to make an email appear that it's sent from your own address or a seemingly credible source, or a large company such as Yahoo!, [PayPal ], or others.

This technique has one purpose: To catch you off guard, and get you to open and respond to their mail. Remember, you should never respond to unsolicited email - instead, report it by clicking your online mail service's "Spam" button.
