Comments on: Spam Tactics – Valerie Zalburn – Now if for some reason I’ve reached the wrong company http://aldebaranwebdesign.com/blog/spam-tactics-valerie-zalburn-now-if-for-some-reason-ive-reached-the-wrong-company/ Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 15 May 2010 18:18:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Jill Olkoski http://aldebaranwebdesign.com/blog/spam-tactics-valerie-zalburn-now-if-for-some-reason-ive-reached-the-wrong-company/comment-page-1/#comment-4658 Jill Olkoski Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:43:17 +0000 http://aldebaranwebdesign.com/blog/?p=432#comment-4658 Dear IWH, it might be obvious to you, but these spam emails are not always obvious to other folks. And you can't stop spam. As long as you have an email address, you will get spam. The only way to stop spam is to keep your email address 100% private, never use it anywhere online, never give it to anyone. But then, that defeats the point of having an email address. Many email applications and hosting companies have spam filters as well. But asking how you can stop spam is like asking how can you stop junk mail.

I have received 3 of these same messages since December and have tried to unsubscribe. The latest message from "Valerie" says her tech folks are working on fixing the problem, but in the mean time can I interest you in.... I believe I received this message because my address appears on the local chamber of commerce website and they don't blind copy or send by undisclosed recipient when contacting members. I am thinking Valery should be sent the junk folder. P Helgeson Thanks for the post. I have received 3 of these same messages since December and have tried to unsubscribe.
