How to Deal with Spam Messages

1. Caution when sharing: The equation is quite simple: If you only give your email address to selected individuals, you won’t receive spam emails. Treat your Outlook email address as if it were your mobile phone number. Only people you know and trust should receive your contact address!
2. Disposable addresses: Sometimes it is also necessary to provide an email address in places where you know spam is to be expected. For example, when registering for an online forum. For this purpose, there are so-called disposable addresses that are only valid for a short time. Never forward chain letters! First, you help spammers spread your spam content further, and second, you can no longer control who receives your email address.
3. Read receipts: Sometimes a read receipt is sent along with spam emails to find out whether your email account is still active. Generally, you should therefore not respond to them.
