porn advertizing on spam email

Hello, how are you, thanks for posting your concerns in the microsoft community,

When you visit a website, the site gets a certain amount of information about you, but your email address is not part of it. You don’t provide your email address to view what’s on the site. I couldn’t email you if I wanted to. (And I do want to, which is why
I ask you to sign up for my newsletter. More on that in a moment.)

The same is true for porn sites, or for any other website, for that matter. There’s no way for them to email you, unless …

… you give them your email address.

Handing over your email address

OMG! Porn Spam!Of course, you may choose to do exactly that.

For example, you might sign up for my newsletter, and I’ll send it to you once a week. I’m sure the porn industry has similar products — newsletters, subscription sites, discussion forums — requiring an email address to gain access.

And yes, once you give them your email address, they will probably start sending you email. Some may even send what you’d consider to be porn spam.

Even worse, they might also give your email address to someone else who will also start sending you email. (For the record, I do not.) And some or all of that might look like spam, including more porn spam.

But just surfing web sites — and doing so with appropriate anti-malware precautions and common sense — doesn’t give them the information to email you at all. If you haven’t provided your information, they have no way to know who you are.

How you get porn spam

Simply having an email address is enough to start getting spam. Eventually, that’s likely to include scams, phishing attempts, ads for body-enhancement drugs, weight loss products, and, yes, porn.

Most people get spam. Some get more than others, but most do.

At some point, your email address made it onto a list of email addresses used by a spammer. That list may have been sold to another spammer, and another, and another and another, until your email address appears on several spammers’ lists. Some of those might
be drug spammers, some who send phishing attempts, and others who want to help you increase the size of certain body parts.

And some send porn spam.

But none of it is at all related to where you’ve been. It’s more related to how visible your email address has been, and whether or not you’ve responded (accidentally or otherwise) to spam in the past by clicking on a link or replying. Once spammers realize
an email address is valid and reaches a real person, they send even more spam in your direction.
