Why Am I Getting Spam Emails in the First Place?
Ah, the age old question: How did I even get on this mailing list? In many cases, you’re receiving spam because you gave your information to a site or subscription that shared (or sold) your information to affiliates. There are tons of sneaky ways that your email gets shared around the internet, and most are beyond your control. Any time you share your email, chances are someone else is standing by to use it for a marketing blast or a phishing scheme. So, how do you ?
What is Considered Spam?
While some would define spam email as phishing scams, fraudulent messages, and material that comes from unreputable senders, spam is truly in the eye of the beholder. Any unsolicited, irrelevant, message that you view as junk counts. This can include commercial emails from known brands that you have no interest in as well as brands that you may have interacted with in the past but no longer wish to remain on their mailing list.
How to Stop Spam Email on Your Own
Stopping spam email on your own takes time and energy, but you do have a few options.
- You can call an “opt-out” hotline. Sadly, these hotlines often put you on hold or remain busy for long periods.
- You can go online to remove yourself from lists electronically, but often you’ll continue to get it anyway.
- You can give private information (including your social security number) to websites claiming to stop junk mail for you. Unfortunately, many of these sites are scams and will steal your information.
Trying to stop spam emails from coming on your own should not be as tricky as it is. Luckily, you have other options.
Next Steps to Stop Spam Email if You Can’t Do It Yourself
As stated above, trying to stop spam email yourself not only takes time and energy but endangers your personal information. But you do have other options, including:
| Paying someone to stop the junk mail for you | Several organizations will stop it for you, but they charge a fee. It can get costly as you have to pay a separate fee for each type of mail. |
| You can get a consumer advocate involved | There are consumer advocates who work for newspapers in every city, but they are swamped. So you have to get their attention, and they have to think your case is newsworthy enough to take it. |
These methods take time and money you may not have. Luckily, DoNotPay will stop you from getting junk mail quickly and easily.
