How to prevent spam

Spam: If you have an email address I bet you're fed up with the unsolicited mail you receive. The increase in spam has virtually relegated email as an adult only facility. Spam is a wast of our time. Many spam emails are obscene, many are offensive or insulting to one's inteligence e.g. "I have a zillion pounds that I want to put into your bank account, please fax your bank account details to me...This is not a scam, honest!".

How do spammers get your email address?

Most spammers use a computer system (spider or spam-bot') to check almost every website on the internet (including yours). The 'spam bot' looks at the code of every web page, it looks for the '@' symbol. When it finds an '@' it knows its found an email address. It then collects the bit either side of the '@' symbol to capture your email address and add it to the spammers database of millions of harvested addresses. From then on that address will receive lots of spam!

How we stop spam

On your website we encrypt your email address so the 'spam bots' can't harvest it as they robotically and relentlessly crawl the web. Your email address will be displayed correctly for web-browsers, but will be virtually indecipherable to email harvesting systems.
