spam (email)

Spam email refers to unsolicited messages sent in bulk, often for advertising purposes or to promote scams. These emails can clutter your inbox with offers that may seem too good to be true, like prizes or low-cost products. They typically come from unknown senders and can sometimes contain harmful links or attachments. While some spam is harmless, others may lead to phishing attempts, where attackers try to steal personal information. Email providers often use filters to detect and direct spam into a separate folder, helping to keep your inbox organized and secure.
