<strong>How</strong> <strong>Can</strong> I <strong>Stop</strong> <strong>Online</strong> <strong>Pharmacy</strong><br />
<strong>Spam</strong>? <strong>An</strong> <strong>An</strong>swer From <strong>Semalt</strong> <strong>Expert</strong><br />
If you have the email ID, you might receive private messages <strong>from</strong> the online pharmacies or superstores plugging<br />
Cialis or Viagra. Regardless of your gender, the spammers will keep sending you false messages and hope to reel in<br />
lots of customers every day. Emails are a cheap way to communicate with others, so the companies make pro ts<br />
even when they sell only a few things. The FDA (Food & Drug Administration) has warned that individuals who buy<br />
things online might get counterfeit Cialis or Viagra that is potentially dangerous or useless.<br />
It is not possible to stop the spammers. <strong>How</strong>ever, you can block their messages with these simple steps stipulated<br />
by Alexander Peresunko, a leading specialist <strong>from</strong> <strong>Semalt</strong>.<br />
Step#1: Create the new email ID:<br />
Creating a brand new email ID is good. The Federal Trade Commission has<br />
advised that we should select an unusual and username so that the<br />
spammers and online pharmacies are not able to send us odd messages.<br />
They often send lots of emails to the list of common usernames, and your<br />
username and password should be strong so that no one can guess them.<br />

Step#2: Notify all the legitimate contacts:<br />
Once you have created another email address, you should notify your reliable contacts about your new ID. Request<br />
them not to tell anyone about your new email ID and not to send the chain emails. Plus, they should not share your<br />
ID with the referral sites, social media networks or another unknown party. Almost all online pharmacies create lots<br />
of mailing list <strong>from</strong> the data entered by individuals who believe that are favoring you by referring you to the special<br />
offers and deals.<br />
Step#3: Change the settings of your email address:<br />
You should set the email accounts to delete the email containing any spam version of terms "Cialis" and "Viagra."<br />
That can be done by creating the rules that check all incoming emails and personal messages. The online pharmacies<br />
and spammers use wrong spellings in their messages such as "Vi@gra" and "Cia!!s" to trick the spam lters. If you<br />
receive an email with such words at your new ID, you should add them to the rules, so the messages are deleted<br />
immediately. If you receive spam emails with such words at the new email ID, you should add them to the rules that<br />
eliminate them quickly.<br />
Step#4: Buy products <strong>from</strong> reputable websites and companies:<br />
You should always buy things <strong>from</strong> the reputable companies and legitimate websites. <strong>An</strong>yone will quickly create the<br />
legitimate-looking business websites. Some of them are forefronts for gathering your email addresses, credit card<br />
details and personal information, while the others want to generate revenues with your purchases. The online<br />
pharmacies and spammers will target you if you insert your information and private details on the fraudulent sites.<br />
Thus, you should be stick with the established and famous online companies such as eBay.com, Alibaba.com,<br />
Amazon.com, Walmart, and Target.<br />
Tips and Warnings:<br />
You should never click on the "unsubscribe" button of spam plugging<br />
Cialis or Viagra. The messages will claim that opening those links will<br />
remove your email ID <strong>from</strong> their mailing lists, but they try to con rm that<br />
your email address is active and correct. According to McAfee, the<br />
messages will bomber your inbox, and the online pharmacies will urge you<br />
to buy their products.<br />
