Chase Spam Emails
Spammers are always looking for new ways to get their word out. They’re always looking for new ways to trick people into clicking on their links, and they’re always trying to find new ways to bypass spam filters. One way that spammers try to bypass spam filters is by using an image instead of text in their email. They do this by inserting the image URL into the text of their email, but they don’t show the image. This is how it works:
The scammer will send an email with no images or attachments. When you open it up in your email client, you’ll see nothing but plain text. However, if you look closely at the HTML source code of the message, you’ll see that there are references to images — but there aren’t any actual images!
When your email client loads up this message in its preview pane or when it displays it as a web page (depending on where you save your messages), it will load up those references to images and display them instead of showing nothing at all. This means that when someone opens one of these messages (which might be sent from someone they know), all they see is a bunch of jumbled-up text with nothing else happening. The average person receives about 100 spam emails every day. If you’re not careful, your inbox can quickly become overrun with junk mail and other unwanted messages.
Fortunately, there are some easy ways to weed out the bad stuff and keep your inbox clean.
It’s a good idea to check your email accounts frequently — especially if you get a lot of spam messages. If you don’t check your account regularly, it could take longer for you to notice that an account has been compromised.
How to chase spam emails?
Spam email is a huge problem for everyone. If you’re like me, you probably get hundreds of spam emails every day. This makes it hard to find the real messages in your inbox. The spammers will often include a link to their website or even include a link right in the body of the message. The goal is to get you to click on the link so they can collect information about you (and sell it). Chasing spam emails is an essential part of the email marketer’s job.
Email addresses are a vital resource for marketers and you need to protect them from being harvested by spammers, who use them to send junk emails.
Spam accounts for 80% of all junk emails so it’s important to keep your list clean. Here are some tips on how to spot and chase spam emails:
Don’t open any email that comes from an address you don’t recognize. It’s better to delete it without opening it than risk giving away information or infecting your computer with malware.
If an email looks suspicious, check out the sender’s domain name by hovering over it with your mouse cursor. If it looks like something was added at the end (like “.com”, “.net”, “.org”, etc.), there’s a good chance this is a fake domain name used by scammers who want to trick people into clicking on links inside their message.
Look for misspellings or bad grammar in subject lines and body text — these are common characteristics of spam emails.
