I know it seems almost unbelievable that this could be the case, but the reality is, Spammers are some of the most unscrupulous people and if you were to email them back that you wanted to be removed from their list it is almost positive that they will take that as a bona fide email and sell it in the top tier of verified emails addresses.

Spammers aren’t necessarily on the same terms as the rest of us. My 11-year-old daughter got on a Spam list and was sent pornography. Totally untraceable to its original source and when I went in the police station to lodge a complaint they told me there was absolutely nothing they could do about it.

If that same “Spam” was sent through the US Postal service that person would have committed a serious crime and would have been traceable because of the return address.

The surest measure against Spam is to stay of sites that will make you a Spam target and to have a really effective Spam solution.

Did you blind cc them????? If not, I would guess ALL your friends would call it spam!

There is nothing more annoying than having your email blasted to a bunch of people you don’t know and likely don’t want to know!

However, if you sent an email with a blind copy, you probably did okay and no, it isn’t really spam. At least most of your friends will think so, though there are bound to be a few who feel a little spammed.

Spam is technically classified as an unwanted, unsolicited email from a non recognizable source, in other words people emailing you and a massive number of other people who don’t know the emailer and never asked to be emailed.

Make sense?

You should check with your friends and see if they mind getting occasional blasts from you and anyone who does mind, take them off your list.  Then, stay away from the “cc” line on a mass email, it is just the more polite thing to do.

There is an email being sent around that looks like a legit UPS email, it is in fact bogus.

The subject line has this “UPS Tracking #” and then a bunch of numbers like: 6956309903 in it.

Below is the text of the email, if you receive this email do not open the attachment, it could have serious repercussions on your computer.
