I believe many people might have heard about “SPAM”, everyone might experience spam attacks at your mails once in a while, particularly, in the world of Social Media, spam is getting close to you.

What is Spam?

Spam’s definition based on Collins COBUILD Dictionary explains as follows; “To spam people or organizations means to send unwanted emails to a large number of them, usually as advertising.” And currently, Spam is not limited only to email channels but it’s also included other channels such as all social media platforms.

What will the Spam sender get after sending spam to other receivers?

Most people who saw the messages, first reaction, “delete” immediately!

How does the spam sender know the addresses of the receivers?
