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.

Depending on what website you have an account with, Google has a spam block. And you can mark emails from them as spam to get rid of any emails they send.
Tom Brady's email address is strictly private. This is to help ensure his safety and to keep him from getting too overwhelmed.
You cannot just have ANYONE's email address. It is a rule of privacy, and the email companies do not give out their customer's email address.
his email address is sharuk@shah.com

That is called CAPTCHA a security measure used by yahoo to prevent spammers and bots.
Nope. It's to prevent "spammers" and "robots" Seriously, robots?
They either have your password and are using your email address to send those emails or they are spoofing the email's sender which basically is changing who the reviver thinks sent it.
Yes, spammers do it all the time. However, if you are emailing someone you don't know - be careful, and you must have their email address in order to send them an email.
Currently there isn't one that I know of. Someone should make one!
Yes- spammers do it all the time.
You can email WikiAnswers contributors just like you email other people. You cannot email them if they did not show their email address. If a person wants to be contacted via email they may leave their email address on their profile (which you can get to by clicking on their username). If they don't leave their email address, we must respect their privacy. You may try contacting a contributor through their personal message board, which is accessible from their profile. Note that these boards are public. You may consider posting your email address in a message to them on their board. Again, note that these boards are public and other people (such as spammers) will see your address.

Spammers use clusters of hacked computers (a botnet) to send spam, so they can send loads of unwanted email at very little cost. There are spam affliate programs out there that pay spammers a share when some people buy a product after receiving a spam email, thereby generating an income to spammers.

One way to prevent receiving spam is to not give out your email address online. You can also make your email address unscannable by writing it out in creative way such as not using the word at and dot to replace the symbols.
