Today people will receive at least 10 pieces of junk mail in their email each day. This can be a pain whenever you have to clean out your cluttered inbox or deal with the problems that are associated with having a spam filter. While a spam filter is meant to prevent you from receiving junkmail, it is possible for even your important emails to slip through the filter and thus you will then have 2 folders to sort through.
CNET claims that close to 65% of all email is junkmail today. This amount is increasing each month and there are no signs that it will be slowing down in the near future. Most of this email is not just harmless junk mail either. Most of it is actually phishing attempts. This happens whenever a criminally minded individual sends you an email that imitates a legitimate web site. They may imitate such places as your bank or eBay. Their hope is that they will be able to fool you into giving them important information that you would not normally give to anyone.
While many people use to be disappointed because their email was empty, today they are happy when it is empty. This is because they then know that they will not have to spend their time sorting through all kinds of junkmail. They are also happy because they know that they are not being targeted by yet another phishing attempt. This just goes to show how what use to be a safe and effective communication tool has not become not just a nuisance, but also an opportunity for others to either act criminally or simply as a nuisance.
The objective of junk mail is to send advertising deals to consumers. Most of the junk mail you will receive for internet deals. The internet deals range from mortgage rates, vacation deals, drugs and free music downloads to lottery jackpot etc. The question is how they get your e-mail address. The internet is open boundary communication platform, because of its openness internet advertisers and criminals take advantage in targeting users with less guarded computers.
There can be many reasons how these people get your e-mail address. You had registered at websites of your interest, and they in turn sold user data to internet advertisers. Before registering at any website check their privacy policy, this will give you good idea how they handle user data. The other reason could be your email with banks, Credit Card Company, charity, rental office, public records, sweet stakes, airlines etc.
So, the next time that your email is empty, you should not be disappointed. Instead, you should be thankful that you are not being sent any junkmail that day.
