How do you prevent spammers from getting your email address?

Well, do not click on any adds that you may see on the Internet that need your e-mail address. Don't give your e-mail address to anyone but the people that you know (you never know if that person that said he would email you is actually going to use it to get to those adds!) Here is the answer from Ken Hollis and the alt.spam FAQ to "How *did* I get this unsolicited e-mail anyway?": Unfortunately just posting a message to a news group can get unsolicited e-mail. Some spammers "harvest" e-mail addresses by stripping e-mail return addresses out of messages people post. ... The solution to this is to "mung" your address when you post by adding in extra characters (like "Spam") in your return address. You then put in your signature something like "Remove the word Spam from my e-mail to contact me". See: http://www.private.org.il/harvest.html - How spammers harvest addresses http://home.cnet.com/software/0-3227888-8-6602372-1.html - Riskiest e-mail behaviors on the Net http://members.aol.com/emailfaq/mungfaq.html - Address Munging http://gamesbyemail.com/Documentation/AntiSpamEmailLinks/ - Examples of disguising your e-mail. http://www.applelinks.com/articles/2001/07/20010730122944.shtml - converting email addresses to "digital entities" http://www.inter-linked.com/content/spiderbait.php3 - A Java script to encode your e-mail address on a web page Larry suggests making your e-mail address into a JPEG (picture). You can't click on it and send a e-mail, but the spammers can't harvest your e-mail address either. Do not ever reply to the "unsubscribe" option in a spam. That only confirms your e-mail as "real" and gets your e-mail address sold to others. More spam for you. Another way to get e-mail is to have a World Wide Web page. Some spammers just start a web spider (a piece of software that just traverses World Wide Web pages and collects information) going and collect e-mail that way. To prevent your e-mail from being harvested, you can "mung" your web e-mail. Yet another way for spammers to verify your address is real is to have multiple unique pages to their site so that when you click on the URL they provide, they know that you (and only you) got that URL. See: http://cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/01/14/email.privacy.idg/index.html Greg tells us of yet another clever trick. The spammer imbeds a unique image (Web Bug) in a spam e-mail so that just the act of opening the e-mail tells the spammer that your address is "live": img srcclusters_1-9 & image0 I have seen yet another trick that spammers use, they make the URL a web bug. When you have a link like http://NAIOKWDVDISY.adwarebde.com/?id=02025 the "name" of the web site NAIOKWDVDISY can uniquely identify what e-mail address that spam was sent to. Just doing a NSLookup of the name will point out the e-mail address of the person that the spam was sent to thus identifying a "live" person. Pierre suggests that when putting a mailto URL in a web page, precede and follow it with "%20". When someone clicks on it, it will merely put spaces, which will be ignored, around the address, but when a spammer harvests the address, it will have a %20 in it, which will render it undeliverable.

How much do you get when you win the Florida lottery?

Depends on what you choose to concerning payout or taking the lump sum.. If you choose payouts then you get the jackpot paid to you in 30 annual installments.. If you choose to take the lump sum instead you get only a percentage of the jackpot, not sure how much, but other states usually give around 50%... And don't forget that after you make your choice that income tax must be taken out of that and for the FL lottery they take 25% for taxes... Its all on the FL lottery page under questions and answers.. Hope that helps.

Is dsse a scam?

DSSE/TELEVISION IS A TRUE SCAM!! Their founder is a con artists that goes around with his crew stealing people's identities once they join their company. They make you believe that you are working for a good cause like feeding the homeless and fundraising for kids, when in fact they keep the money! They use famous people to get you drawn into their company, but really they are a big scam!! They will also make you many offers in exchange of selling candy to fundraise! I remember they had a girl that was their singer and they said she was working with Miami Sound Machine, well iM SURE BUT THEY ARE OUTDATED! I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN HER BECOME FAMOUS LIKE THEY SAID SHE AND OTHER 10 GIRLS THAT WERE THERE WOULD. Their founder is Sammy Mack whom many claim to be a pervert!! I saw that when they were in New York they had this blonde girl as their "supposedly" CEO, and now they have Jonathan Krane, whom I'm sure they paid to be part of, and maybe Krane is not aware of this company's criminal background. If you look up the girls they had in NY, none of them are there. I read that they closed their company unexpectedly in NY and went to California. I'm sure many other people realized the kind of company this is and filed lawsuits. That's why they had to leave. BE AWARE BECAUSE DSSE IS A TRUE, AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST SCAMS!!

What music is played on the AG Edwards commercial showing the huge egg being delivered to the new retiree?

Having researched this qestion for months, I found a little information. This music is used in several media outlets, one being (Curb your Enthusiam from HBO, 1st season "The Car Salesman") The song title is still yet to be found but the artist is Wendall J. Yuponce. He was the music arranger for the show. This piece shows up in a radio ad and AG Edwards 1st Nest Egg commercial. But don't purchase the Music CD from the show and expect this to be on it. They left it out, Why? If anybody does come up with the title, Please Post it. After going a little nuts trying to find the title of this tune, my wife found it on this website: http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:adGqjEUCIv8J:www.fxguide.com/press-429 It is entitled "Sur Les Bateaux Mouche" Composed by Jacques Mercier & Gilbert Einaudi. Hope this is of use....... My high school French is rusty, but I believe the A.G. Edwards song Sur Les Bateaux Mouche (by Gilbert Einaudi and Jaques Mercier) translates literally as "On The Fly-Boat." This refers to a type of sightseeing yacht that can frequently be seen on the river Seine.

www.discoverfrance.net/France/Transportation/Water/Bateaux-Mouches.shtml

When I was a kid in the late fifties and early sixties a number of French tunes were popular, and it seems like I remember this as being one of them, but maybe it's just the French quality I'm remembering.

Still, I've heard this particular tune somewhere besides the HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm, I can't remember where. Addition - this little ditty was also played on Food Network's bio of Giada Di Laurentiis as she was making a goofy trek thru a cheese factory. Love this song.

How do spammers get your email address?

== == By using a device called a netbot that is a automated search program that looks for and recognizes email addresses, on forums and other open sources, and records them to a memory list. They may also buy lists that have been complied by retail stores or mail order catalog companies, who sell them for a few cents a name. If you ever fill out a ballot to "win a trip " or a " vacation draw " what you are really doing is giving your name, address and maybe your email info to a company that then sells that info to a buyer who will be sending you stuff for ever. Simple, you ask them, Hey whats you e-mail adress, and they say, here it is. Some people are really dumb that way

Today you have received some mails from international lottery british lottery say your email Id is aprrove wining some amount 1.5 million 4.5 million pound its true lottery or feke please guide you?

I recently received an email from New media Lottery Services stating I had won a million dollars and the first thing I could think to do was research this to find out the authenticity of it. I tried a search on the company, and it was legit, as were all other companies that it was linked with in the emails. I then tried calling all the numbers listed in the emails and they came back as invalid. Giving it the benefit of the doubt that I had somehow got the Europe #'s incorrect, I called the numbers listed on the offical sites web pages. I got ahold of John Carson of New Media Lottery Services, who was working very late on a Friday night, and was told any information from fraudulent. I thank him for his time and consideration for my questions, and hope that his company is never again used in this manner. My comments for anyone else concerned they or a loved one might be scammed is 1. to always verify through an outside means. IE: Don't just call the numbers they provide, check through online sources, the BBB, and even the phone book. If you are not one hundred percent positive, then don't go forward with your endeavors. 2. If they ask for money, then they are fraudulent. If you win it then you shouldn't have to pay for it to be delivered. ------------ This is called a Lottery Scam, and you can find out more info here http://scamvictimsunited.com/lottery.htm

How do you tell a 305 from a 350?

on the vin coad its the eighth diget on the vin plate if you dont have a vin if your valve covers bolt in the middle with 4 bolts it is a 305 if they bolt on the edges 4 bolts then it is a 350

That answer is wrong. A 350 has a 4" bore. A 305 has a smaller bore. All SBC made after 1986 have the center bolt valve covers, no matter what size motor it is. All pre-86 SBC have perimeter valve cover bolts.

What is different between spam and scam?

These 2 fall into a very large and broad category of misusing computer technology.

These types of things are classified by their severity.

Spam, in general, is sending mass mail/e-mail in hopes that they will get a response or generate revenue.

Scam, in general, is specifically geared to have you pay for a product or service and steal money from you.

A lot of times, Scams use spam-methods to increase the chances that someone will give them financial information or money. So even though the scam uses spam-methods, it is reported as a scam as it is more of a threat to people.
