New ways to get more junk email

My comments today are directed toward those who are looking for more ways to get on junk email lists. Some common ways that we talk about on the show include the following:

• Register any new project you buy.
• Ask your friends to add you to their forwarded joke list (spammers love to harvest from forwarded email).
• Reply to junk email asking that the sender take you off their list (spammers interpret this as "Thank you for the junk mail, I just wanted you to know that this is a valid address and I read anything you send me).
• Post your email address all over Internet forums, web pages and other public Internet sites.

Now, there are some new ways or variations of the old ways to get added to junk mail lists, give these a try if you want more spam:

• Register to win stuff by filling out surveys  - nearly ever store now gives you a survey to enter you into a drawing. These surveys often tell you that you will be notified by email if you win or if they have something else that they want to send you or if the companies they sell your email address to want to send you something.
• Dial the number you see on TV for your free cell phone ring or text message joke of the day. These late night television ads are just harvesting valid cell phone numbers and you will start receiving cell phone spam in no time!

Using these helpful tips you will have your email box and cell phone text messaging full of junk mail in no time. Enjoy and you're welcome.
