Common Email Sending Mistakes

When sending a message to more than 3 people especially if they do not know each other, please put everyone in the BCC field instead of TO or CC. This way no one will see the other recipients’ emails.

Also if you receive a message that includes compelling well-crafted information asking you to forward to all your friends 99.999% of the time it is a fake or a hoax.

Most likely it has originally been sent by spyware, virus and spam writers to collect people addresses. When you forward it to everyone, this message contains all of our addresses as well as the addresses of previously forwarded people.

If one of the recipients has a virus or spyware program, it will collect all of those precious valid and verified email addresses and send them to the virus owner. They will sell it to spammers. and spam all your friends and you too.

So please make sure to ask an expert first about these messages before sending to everyone you know.
