Spam means unwanted and unsolicited advertising emails.

Preventative tips against spam emails

  • Do not indicate your email address at every occasion.
  • Create a second email account to use for newsletters or sweepstakes, This can help prevent that your main address gets clogged with spam, in case the service provider shares your email address.
  • Watch out for ad emails, links included in spam emails and chain letters. These can contain malware. Do not open links or email attachments from unknown senders.
  • Activate the filter of your email provider (online filter) and use filter software for your email programmes.
