these are some methods,techniques and websites to minimize the amount of spam messages you receive:





how to minimize the spam emails you receive:


-block the sender/s email address/es


-send the emails to your spam/bulk folder


-ignore them- do not reply


-DO NOT OPEN the e-mails if you know they are spam by the title
