Protect you Email Address

A free way of reducing spam

Spam - we all hate it. One way that spammers get your email address is by going over websites and looking for the @ sign and then copying the email address.

So don't leave your email address as plain text in forums, on Twitter or on classified sites as it makes you an easy spam target: spam robots and email harvesters constantly browse these sites to collect new victim email addresses.

Instead, use the new free service Scr.im that will convert your email address (joe@email.com) into a safe and short URL (for instance http://scr.im/joe). It is just like Bit.ly, TinyURL or one of the other URL shortening services.

If you have any questions or problems visit the zuuMedia website and use the live chat speak to one of our technicians anytime of day or night.
