Spamming

Categories

Like most of us, I have a professional email address and a personal email. Unlike everyone else, however, I am a pushover for a discount pitch wherein I get a percentage off on a purchase when I give my email address. You know the ploy, you get an extra 15% off when you provide an email address.

 

 

So now my personal email is flooded with sale notifications, discount offers, and the like. I find myself constantly deleting these spam emails. I have considered creating another email address just to use for merchants but that would give me a third email address to monitor.

 

 

What do you do about spam emails?

I opt to shun many offers. I unsubscribe where I can and I label junk when that option is not fund. And of course delete. Some people use an email they do not really monitor to and do not bother to really monitor it.

I agree with Corey, but also sometimes will have a 3rd email I use for offers that I allow for junk type offers.

Use the link on the bottom that says "unsubscribe." It must be there by law

I have a "junk " mail account used just for that purpose. Anyone can have it. Only unimportant people or organizations have it. I use it for ordering online etc.
