If you don't have a spam email account, leave the space for your email address blank when filling out online registration forms. If the site requires you to enter an email address, you can fill in a phony one. Make an address up, or if you want to be especially sly, supply the email address of your favorite spamming company. Don't reply . Never reply to spam.
Replies are how spammers verify that an email address is active.
If you reply to a spam email, you are practically asking to receive more spam. Don't even open spam . Some spam messages are programmed to contain Web bugs , which notify the messages' sender when an email he or she has sent has been opened. Spammers use these Web bugs to tell that your email address is valid and active. If you know an email message is spam, delete it without opening it.
