FAQ: All About Email Spam in Your Inbox

Email Spam Inbox

What’s a “spammer”


Spammers from across the globe send out emails by the millions trying to convince the receiver to give them money, enhance their male parts, date easy women, buy brand name products at much cheaper prices. Email spam sources can be traced directly to their point of origin using the spam email IP (Internet Provider) address attached to legitimate email.

"Unwanted commercial email – also known as "spam" – can be annoying. Worse, it can include bogus offers that could cost you time and money. Take steps to limit the amount of spam you get, and treat spam offers the same way you would treat an uninvited telemarketing sales call. Don't believe promises from strangers. 

Learn to recognize the most common online scams."

Why is it called spam?


"Today I found out how the word “spam” came to mean “junk message” or “junk mail”. While some have suggested that this was because SPAM (as in the Hormel meat product) is sometimes satirized as “fake meat”, thus spam messages are “fake messages”, this potential origin, while plausible enough on the surface, turns out to be not correct at all.

The real origin of the term comes from a 1970 Monty Python’s Flying Circus skit.  In this skit, all the restaurant’s menu items devolve into SPAM.  When the waitress repeats the word SPAM, a group of Vikings in the corner sing “SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, lovely SPAM! Wonderful SPAM!”, drowning out other conversation, until they are finally told to shut it."
