It’s only the fourth day of Chinese Lunar New Year and my Chinese blogging pals are screaming out for help.
They have eaten too much goodies and delicacies these few days that they need weight loss pills to save them.
As the Chinese celebrate their New Year for 15 days, it’s so likely to put on a few pounds if there is no control on eating.
We all like getting things for free, but to get the freebies or free stuffs we usually must provide our email address. There is always a risk that this will get us more junk emails.
Let’s see how we can avoid the junk but still get the goodies.
1. Only provide your email address to sites that have an appropriate privacy policy.
2. Use a free (and disposable) email address when you suspect you may get on email lists that don’t interest you.
3. Most online forms provide a checkbox to select whether you want to receive email from them. Check or uncheck as appropriate.
4. Many online forms have a checkbox which asks permission to share your information with third parties. Check or uncheck as appropriate.
5. Avoid entering your email address in online guest books or other places where it will be displayed on the Web. Spammers use programs called bots to harvest these.
6. Never reply to unsolicited email even to request removal. It just verifies that your address is valid.
7. Use a bulk email blocking service like the one described in the related features below.
