How to prevent from getting spammed

Usually, your email get spammed when you signed up for something in the internet where they requested your email for signing in. These kind of websites collect email addresses and sell it to companies that buy email address for advertising and marketing purposes. It’s hard to determine which websites to trust and which website will going to spam your email address. The best safe guard from this is to create a dummy email address that is specially created for signing up purposes. If you are very much sure that the website that you are signing is the one that can be trusted for, then, you can use your official email address to sign up.

Also avoid posting your email address in any website. There are what so called indexing robots that are used in collecting email addresses displayed in the websites. If there is a great need to post your website in the internet, have it written in an image file first, then post it. In such way, the indexing robot will have no way to read your email address. You may also write it in a way such that the format does not look like an email address.
