Why Should You Never Respond to Unsolicited Emails?

Spam messages can be troublesome if you respond or unsubscribe from them. Spammers frequently send misleading emails to lure users and entice them to respond, leading to harmful consequences. If you respond in any way, your inbox will become filled with useless messages. James Veitch, a well-known British comic and writer, once recalled a hilarious, weeks-long encounter with a spammer who offered to cut him in on a hot deal. Do you want to know how? Watch his video, 'This is what happens next when you reply to spam email.'

The following are some reasons why you should never reply to spam emails:

To begin, when you respond to one of these sneaky spams, you are unintentionally telling the spammer that the message was delivered to your inbox rather than the spam folder. This is known as phishing. You make the spammer's job easier by responding to them. In his most famous video on responding to email spam, James Veitch shows a slideshow of his conversation with the spammer who offers him a great deal. However, because spammers may be cunning, we recommend that you avoid engaging in discussion. Unless you're James Veitch, and you're trying to deceive spammers once more!

Secondly, even a passing glance at spam emails can be dangerous when it comes to your personal information. The spam email sends you to an impressive replica website, giving you the impression that you are inputting private information into what you assume is your bank's or another service's website using your login, password, or personal information. Like your credit card number, anything sensitive information you enter is now in the hands of your spammer buddy.

Thirdly, sometimes a spammer may send an attachment containing a link to a virus or malware that allows your sneaky little spammer pal to capture your activity and transfer your information to the hacker. Furthermore, these spammers are also scanning your contacts to obtain new emails to target.

Being on the internet is tough, isn't it? Well, to lighten your mood, we suggest you watch James Veitch's TED Talk summit on how he acted along with his spamming pal to waste his time. It's not only hilarious, but also makes you aware of the dark parts of the internet.
