Don't Believe Spammers When They Say "You Requested"

There are two words that you will find in almost any unsolicited bulk email: you requested.

Don't believe it.

Spammers count on your uncertainty, and that in doubt you will rather not take any action and complain about the spam.

Chances are, however, that

• you did not request anything,

especially if

• there is nothing about the company or person sending you bulk email you recognize, or if
• the service offered does not sound like something you would ever be interested in or request.
