SPAM
A Downside of Digital Communication
What is it?
Unsolicited email or text messages sent to your phone or computer
What does it Look Like?
When you get random emails and/or text messages from people or websites you do not recognize trying to sell you stuff or get your attention.
How to Avoid it
- Get spam filters for your email
- Do not reply to the spam
- Use a separate email address for websites that you want to participate in but think spam will be sent to you from
Examples
- Usually has "win money" or another subject title to catch your attention
- Comes in bulk
- It will have a link for you to click with the message it sends you
