Despite the arrest of a notorious spammer at the end of May, our office continues to receive complaints daily from consumers fed up with junk e-mail.

Here's a little unknown but logical tip to combat this invasion of your inbox: don't reply!

Many people believe replying to the email and requesting removal will help the situation. However, if the spammer receives a message from your email account it will alert their system that your address is a working address, resulting in - more spam!

Federal Trade Commission will take complaints on spam in general and specifically, unsubscribe links that do not work.

To help combat the issue in the meantime, you can establish a filter on your email program to delete the messages (many internet service providers are also offering this feature) or simply delete them yourself.
