Another spam?-not any more


I know that there are some ppl who like to read spams (cos they have nothing but spams in there inbox).But the majority hates Spams.Even the spammers hate spam in there inboxes .So here I am with some useful Tips to avoid Spam (on web mail)

Even all the free/non-free mail services trying there best to get all spams in there nets Spammers are also clever enough to sneak through the filters (for me Gmail does this best.I just see 2-3 spams a week even I don't use any special method). Just don't sit aside leaving the job to those not so intelligent spam filters. Try to avoid spam make sure you will only read mails you really wanna read.

Quite frankly I should say that you are the main guilty for spams in your inbox.In most cases you are the one who post your email address with pleasure to spammers.If you don't believe me answer these questions.

Do you use your email address to register in free services giving porn stuff,MP3, Lyrics all the CRAP you want?.

If yes, I'm happy because what I said was right.

I know that now you are gonna ask me "Hey I love those stuff how the hell I can get'em?".

Of course I know that you like those porn stuff (kidding ;) ) that's why I've already found answers for this question.

Use a Ready made account to get thet hing done.

Yes www.bugmenot.com has ready made accounts+passwords for you.Just checkout for the site you want.There's a Bugmenot extension for the ease of Firefox users.

Be unique @ everyone.

You will think I'm a fool If I say 'create different email addresses to give different people'.Hey I'm not a fool because there's spammotel and spamgourmet. Just find out yourself how do they kill spam. Choose which service suits you best.

The + mark trick

It's said that you can use username+anything@gmail.com.I haven't try this yet. I heard that some other mail services allow this kinda thing spammers are aware of this know how to rip the real mail address. Some sites don't allow this kinda addresses too.

Do you type your exact email address on web content?. (eg:web forums).

If yes, don't do it any more.But I know that you have to put your mail address on those places for some special reasons (date a chick). When you type your address do it like this. crapcrew at gmail dot com. So now only a human will Identify this as an mail address but a not bot works for spammers.

[Check This too]

Do you read mass forwarding emails and forward them further?

If yes you are putting your friends on risk too. Mostly That kinda mails come from a spammer (they starts their way from a spammers inbox).When you open it the pictures in those mails calls their master back saying you@yourmail.* is alive ready to receive spams. So don't open them forward to Friends;You can Identify them checking the subject where it is from.

If you can practice these anti spam habits you'll save some time tension too.

However there are some security vulnerabilities which occur more dangerous situations than getting another spam. Let's see how to avoid that crap, in a future post.

Crap!

PS- Ask your friends to read this help them to get rid of another spam .

Hey Anonymous!


I found that it's a big kid time dream of all our crapcrew that being anonymous in the cyber/physical world. The hackers tutes which are exaggerating about being anonymous have washed the crapcrew brains. If you are someone who is on our side you'd be so happy with this.

Now you can Hide your IP address and get those kid time dreams come true. Wait Wait.... You don't wanna have to be a geek or hacker to do so.It's Just a matter of a little software.However things will get easier if you are using Firefox, Thanx to an extension.

TOR is the one who mask your IP for you.It works on any platform too. You have to install couple of software do some configurations. Even they got nice tutorials you have to be a bit computer savvy to follow the steps.

But things are nice with Vidalia Bundle.Just Download Tor vidalia bundle TORbutton extension for Firefox.You know how to do the rest.

I tried this but didn't see the success. In my case I didn't have TORbutton version for Fx2.so I had some more to do.But now TORbutton for Fx2.0 is available for you.

I'll call you "Hey Anonymous" next time.Feel free to share your experiences on comments.
