Email spam, also known as junk email, is a type of electronic spam where unsolicited messages are sent by email.
Many email spam messages are commercial in nature but may also contain disguised links that appear to be for familiar websites but in fact lead to phishing web sites or sites that are hosting malware. Spam email may also include malware as scripts or other executable file attachments (trojans).
How to avoid this ?
To avoid spam you need to follow these simple ways
1.Hide your email address
The more people who have your email address, the more spam you’re going to get. So keep your email address in private
Don’t publish it on the web unless you absolutely have to. And if you have to, use a different address for that purpose.
Use disposable email addresses when you’re not comfortable sharing your real one.
2.Don’t respond to unkown user who email you
If you recognize something as spam before you open it, don’t open it. If you open it and then realize it’s spam, close it. Do not click a link or a button, or download a file, from a message that you even remotely suspect is spam.
