The spams can be presented in different ways: emails, social networks, forums, blogs and messenger. You can find many online tips for avoiding many spams. Here, some advices easy to follow:

1. Have two business cards. You should have two cards, one for your commercial or personal email and another one with a free account, like Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. When you attend to a trade fair, convention or any event with many vendors you use the card with your free e-mail account, to avoid vendors spam to your personal and commercial e-mails.
2. Use two mail accounts. One called non-reply@domain.com. You use this account to send group of e-mails.  Write a note at the bottom of every mail such as:
   “This is a non-reply e-mail. For responses write to m a r y a n y @ d o m a i n . c o m”.
