Too Much Spam with Yahoo

Why in the world do you have a computer ??
I "use" hell outta mine for everything, and couldn't care less about a few spammers.
But if all you do is sit around and play games all day, yeah, you probably don't get many spams.

I use Yahoo now since they locked me out of all my Outlook emails. :R

I do NOT get any spam emails. Spam does not just come out of the blue.

How many spam emails you get is based on how MANY places you give your email address to, how many sites you buy from and give your email address and on and on and on.

Each and everyone of them say right in their privacy policy that they DO and WILL sell your email address. So multiply that where you give your email address and who they give it to by 10 thousand when all is said and done. THAT is where all the spam comes from.

Heck I wanted to apply on line for one of my medical plans for e pay. I read the privacy policy and they said they DO share your email address with third forth etc parties. It did say you could opt out of them sharing it.......I followed that link and guess what?

It was a special google app that you had to install on your desktop to opt out of them sharing it. :R:E:R Ya, like I'm going to install anything google regarding my health plans and the biggest abuser of your email address and info.

It's a vicious circle out there. I don't buy on line and I don't plug my email address in on line anywhere. Henceforth I get no spam.

Take the time to read those privacy policies before you just click ok. It is frightening where and with whom they share your info. AND what generates all your spam.
