Junk Mail not needed!

When you read an email, or composed something nice to read, it’s always nice to share out the laughter and the nice words or pictures you got. However, most people who just simply forward email without thinking and thus causes a bunch of junk mail or computers with viruses to pick up all your email addresses.

Have you ever wondered where those people always get your email address from? Well from your friends!

Just a few months ago, I had an email account which is clean. No spams, no junk mail and I’ve only used it for official purposes such as to sign up for something or subscribe to some electronic magazines. Everytime before I put my email address into an input box and click submit, I’ll read through the terms and condition and the privacy policy. I’m not one of those guys who would just simply click on agree or yes just for the sake of installing somethin in my PC.

Anyway, My email was clean for the few months and up to a whole year without any spam. UNTIL the time when I gave my email to one of my friend and he mass forward a whole lot of emails into his buddy list.

That’s when it all started. With only 1 or 2 spam at first every day, to at least 10 spam emails in collected daily. That’s not all, because I’m using this email for some official stuff, I need to filter out my spams to see if I’ve missed anything or if anything is accidentally moved to the spam folder. Usually, there’s always 1 or 2 important emails in the spam folder.

This has made my life reading emails a lot slower and harder. All thanks to the few persons who never used their brains when forwarding their junks.

So if you’re one of the people who thinks sharing something funny you get from your email is nice, think again! Don’t forward them or at least, use the BCC field to fill in all the email address of your friends!
