Q:
How did that spammer get my email address?
A:
A variety of ways, including:
- Harvesting
it from web pages using automated tools.
- Collecting
it when you signed up for a newsletter, subscription,
or contest.
- Re-using
information that you gave to a vendor while making
a purchase.
- Pulling
it from an auction site and news group posting.
- Purchasing
it from a reputable list broker.
- Purchasing
it from an unsavory list broker.
- Collecting
it from cc: lists on emails you send.
- Buying
CDs that include millions of email addresses
that were
collected using one
of methods above.
- Tricking
you into replying to fraudulent email
messages or
by telling you
they'll take you
off their list if
you reply. With Spam
Slicer, you can protect
your privacy
by finding
out how the spammer
got your address
to begin
with - then break the
junk email cycle entirely.

Q:
What if I already have a spam blocker?
A: If
the spam product you're currently using was blocking
spam well, would you be reading this? ;-)
Actually,
Spam Slicer will work with your current spam
blocker - with no additional software to install.
As you start to use Spam Slicer, you'll quickly
see
how you can combine Spam Slicer and certain tools,
such as Outlook's Rules Wizard, to perform advanced
email management beyond your current blocker's
normal execution.

Q: Why is Spam Slicer better than my current spam blocker?
A: While Spam Slicer uses both these methods, our system
also blocks email based on its requested destination.
This eliminates serial spammers and removes you
from hundreds of "sold" spam lists. Spam
Slicer also reduces future junk email by helping
you identify
who sold your email address to begin with, so
you can avoid making the same mistake twice. back to top
