We spend so much time clicking on links that we really don't know about and I"ve come to believe that's why I get so much spam in my inbox. I thought I had my pc email set up to ignore spam and put it into the spam box but with the amount of spam I get is sometimes ridiculous. I seldom click on a link that I'm not 100% sure of so where does all that spam come from? Do you get a lot of spam? I hate it but have to deal with it.

I often get spam but my inbox will simply skip over it. Getting spam is very annoying. Lots of spam are about commercial activities and they do want to do business with you. Anyway, we just cannot trust this. Maybe they have some powerful system and send thousands of spam everyday. just ignore it.

I thought I had it set up for spam to go right to a spam folder. Yes they are usually wanting me to buy something or join a site I'm not interested in.

Spam is really a waste of time. Many spam emails are obscene, many are offensive or insulting to one's intelligence. One often gets these type of mails that'He has won a million dollars' and moreover they also say that it isnt a scam. Most of the people dont fall into this trap, but those who do, they are almost screwed later by scamsters. They are looted with a lot of money. So I say, just delete scam emails without opening them, and respond to mails only which u think r right or genuine! And yes, your friends too! :D
