About Spam
The reality with
most of today's anti-spam products is that the
technology their software uses is unable to isolate and filter
out 100% of junk mail from legitimate email. When spam
continues to arrive in your email program, it is because the spam
continues to defeat these products, requiring substantial time and
effort from you to manage your email. You
may already use a spam blocker or spam filter product that promises to keep your
"inbox" free of spam. Many of those products,
however, merely send all the spam to other mailboxes in your email
program with different labels, but still require you to examine their
contents to retrieve incorrectly categorized legitimate
email. In effect, these programs' success depend on
substantially shifting the burden of doing the critical
ongoing spam blocking work to you. Somehow, they just
forgot
that all the boxes in your email program that receive
email are your inboxes, regardless of what they call
them. This doesn't really address the problem of stopping
the spam. Also,
merely not reading the spam and/or deleting it will do nothing to
discourage future mailings. That's because most email marketers
who send spam get paid according to the number of emails that
get delivered, while those hiring them are the ones who must worry about response
rates. Those response rates have been estimated as high as
4-5%, so there is plenty of incentive for both parties. If
spam arrives anywhere in your email program, the spammer will
get paid, thus perpetuating their financial reward for sending
it. Spammers typically don't get paid on bounced
mailings, however, and our system uses that against them as
indicated below. Depending
on how valuable one considers their time, managing email inboxes
can be quite time consuming and expensive. Email Security
Solutions does not believe that managing multiple inboxes is an
acceptable approach to getting rid of spam, as indicated below
under "How We Stop Spam". The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") has made it clear
to the industry that it does not intend to create a "do not
spam" list, proclaiming instead that it wants ISPs to
develop and agree on a common authentication standard, so that the
real sender of an email message can be more easily identified.
Until that is accomplished, it will be business as usual for spam and its
senders. In
today's environment, it is virtually impossible for an
individual email user to identify and ferret out for legal
action those actually sending them spam. Even
ISPs, with their great technical resources, find it extremely difficult
to locate spammers, often
devoting months to the endeavor, with no guarantee of
success. With many spammers pocketing an estimated $100,000
or more per month, there is great incentive to continue their operations. "How
did my email address get on the spammers' lists?", you may
ask. "How did they find me?" The answer
may surprise you. While
many email addresses are "harvested" for spamming from
online newsgroups, chat rooms, and similar exposed locations, most email
addresses are located via mass mailings sent to possible email
addresses that are created by spammer
software programs. If the program happens to have created
the email address you are using, your email address will
begin receiving spam. Spammers
know that most email users prefer short, often catchy, easy to
remember email addresses, and capitalize on those
preferences. Further,
should you make the critical error of
clicking any of the spam's "links" to ostensibly get
"removed", or if you send an angry message to the
"return path" email address in the spam, all the better for unscrupulous spammers. All you
will have done is confirm that your email address is
"live" and available for more spam from the spammer
who located you, and from other spammers to whom your email
address will likely be sold. When
spam arrives in your email program, you can use your ISP's tools
to report the message as spam, and block what you believe is the
originating ISP, but the email's "return path" address
is almost always forged by the spammer to redirect recipients who
send angry return emails to a dummy box, or worse to an
innocent third-party. Hence, blocking the "return
path" email address will be futile and
counter-productive, since the spam did not originate from that
email address. Engaging in this activity rarely stops
additional spam from the same sender from arriving in your email
program, and amounts to little more than wasted time. How
We Stop Spam "What
can I do to make it stop?", may be your next
question. First, don't take seriously those who tell you that
changing your email address will not stop spam. When done
properly, as our patent pending process does, it is one of the best means to
quickly get rid of spam, and using our service will keep it
away. We also bounce the
spam back to the sender so that those sending it do not get paid
on attempted mailings to you. That takes a financial bite out of
their business. As an
example of our results, we manage one email account that had been receiving
over 750 spam mails daily, and immediately after implementing our system
their spam dropped to zero (that's
"0"), and has remained at zero since commencement in
November 2003, while using the same email identity we originally
created for them. It
is not necessary to purchase, install, learn, and commit
considerable time to operate a software program whose spam
stopping results may not be adequate. Just join
our service, we will create a new encoded email address for you,
and our system will provide you with spamless email. Full membership
costs only $3.95 per month. After joining,
you won't need to devote any of your time to challenges, spam filters,
"white-lists", "false positives", or any
other anti-spam activity. We do all the work to block spam from your
online experience, while
you merely use your email normally. If you are
dissatisfied with the results, just cancel your low-cost
membership at any time, with no strings attached. There
will not be any software to "uninstall" that might
leave residual files on your computer. It's that simple. Our
motivation is also quite simple. We are totally committed
to stopping spam
and its burden on the internet's development,
and created this low-priced service as a vehicle to share with the email
community our
empowering, liberating invention that blocks spam, but requires virtually no anti-spam work by the user. Accordingly,
our join plans have been constructed to
reach even the most skeptical who genuinely want to achieve
spamless email. Unlike
most anti-spam products, we bounce all spam back to the sender,
which means they don't get paid for a delivered spam mail, and
that hurts the spammer's revenues. We believe that
reducing the financial rewards from spamming is critical to
defeating it. Furthermore,
in joining our service, you won't have to become a
"spam fighter" should you not choose to. You don't have to wait
until ISPs develop an easier way to locate and prosecute those sending
spam to stop it. That process could take
some years, but our service's winning solution is available now
for those who truly wish to inexpensively get rid of spam,
with no hassles. We invite you to review our various join
options and Join Today! For more information on spam, visit the FTC's
