What is SPAM ?

Spam is email or anything sent to you electronically, that you didn't request, nor did you want the information they sent you. Basically put as JUNK MAIL. The person who sent you the email is called a "SPAMMER".

What is a definition or example of SPAM ?

MLM -- --- --- Multi Level Marketing

Once upon a time, a long long time ago, when i checked email years ago, i received a letter stating that i could be a MILLIONAIRE or a very rich person in no time at all. I took this email, I read it, I thought about it, and thought that it could not be true. I then took it upon myself to understand what the email was asking me to do. The story unfolds :-

Basically, it asked me to send $5.00 dollars to 5 people in a numbered list (in total $25.00), and that if i could request a report from these 5 people on "HOW TO MAKE MONEY". Then when you have done that, on the list with 5 people, put your name at No. 1, and then you must drop the 5 people down one slot (No. 1 goes to 2, No.2 goes to 3 and so on), Then send this list it to as many people as you can, hoping that they do the same as you have done.

The whole basis of this, is that you send out $5.00 the first time, they send you a stupid reply (report) on "how to make a fast buck", which is basically what this page is telling you all about.Then when you send it to say 50 people, and hoping that the unknowingly 50 people send you $5.00, meaning 50 x $5.00 will net you $250. And because those 50 people still have you on their list and they each mail it to 50 other people, you can expect another $12,500. And it just keeps multiplying until you are not on the list.
Easy way to make money, huh.
WRONG!......Only on paper or theoritics.
This system only works when the link isn't broken. Once it breaks, the whole system collapses.

This system (scheme, scam) is known as Multi Level Marketing or a Pyrimid system

It also can be know as JUNK MAIL or basically put SPAM

OK, so I know what SPAM is now, what do i do with it.?

Don't throw the email away. Most people delete the file, and its forever gone, but that can be a bad mistake. As you can identify on who and how they sent you the SPAM, and by today's ISP policies against Spam, you can get the SPAMMER's account cancelled by emailing the server they originated from, and tell them that this person is SPAMMING. This is your tool and your right to fight those SPAMMERS.

NEVER, and i mean NEVER, reply to SPAM.
Usually the SPAM states for you to put your email address in the REMOVE or SUBJECT area.
When you reply, you are VALIDATING YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS to the SPAMMER.
So they know your email now is a fully functional email address, and they will keep sending you SPAM.

WOW, pretty techo stuff. But how do you fight these SPAMMERS ?
