Everyone is annoyed with spam (and phishing) in their inbox. It clogs up your inbox, wastes space, and requires unsubscribing and filtering. But did you know you should never delete spam messages? The scammers are targeting and unsubscribing, which could also trigger ransomware attacks. Yes, spam can actually be helpful (as odd as it sounds) when scammers target users by improving the safeguards against it. So, instead of just deleting spam, report it instead to help prevent future problems.

I agree.  Report spam phishing.  It takes a little bit of time but rewarding knowing the information provided might identify, locate, and catch the scammers. 

 

So instead of either deleting or blocking then create New Folder (SPAM) and move these emails there?  I’ve been blocking and deleting after reporting.

 

I’d like to thank Webroot Mobile Security and have it on my Android Phone.  Today I got a red warning-alert that I had a malware threat called Android System SafetyCore.  We got it removed-uninstalled today!   Having Webroot Mobile Security on my phone is peace of mind and wanted to be sure to let you know. The Webroot Technical Support Specialist helped me a lot to get Webroot Mobile Security on my phone.

 

Thanks again.  Completed Satisfied and a Webroot-Carbonite customer for life.
