- Don't open spam. Delete it unread.
- Never respond to spam as this will confirm to the sender that it is a "live" email address.
- Have a primary and secondary email address - one for people you know and one for all other purposes.
- Avoid giving out your email address unless you know how it will be used.
- Never purchase anything advertised through an unsolicited email.
These tips are suggested by the Internet Crime Complaint Center.
