Some friendly email advice to cut down on spam
Any time you see an E-Mail that says forward this on to "10" of your friends, or sign this petition,
or you'll get bad luck, good luck, or whatever, it almost always has an E-Mail tracker program attached
that tracks the cookies and E-Mails of those folks you forward to.
The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of "active" E-Mails
to use in SPAM E-Mails, or sell to other spammers.
Almost all E-Mails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter
years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book
of Records for the most cards.
All it was, and all any of this type of E-Mail is, is a way to get names and "cookie" tracking information for telemarketers
and spammers - - to validate active E-Mail accounts for their own profitable purposes.
If you have been sending out (FORWARDING) the above kinds of E-Mail, now you know why you get so much SPAM!
Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listings regardless how inviting they might sound!
You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT in the long run. Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later!
Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich! Let's don't make it easy for them!
Also: E-Mail petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other organization. To be acceptable,
petitions must have a signed signature and full address of the person signing the petition.
FINAL TIP: DELETE ALL EMAILS ADDRESSES WHEN FWDG & SEND BCC ONLY, THIS ALSO ELIMINATES SPAM.
