Junk Mail
Do you sometimes get letters or leaflets through your letter box that aren’t really for anyone in your home?
Do you think they are sent especially to your home?
What do the people in your home do with them?
Why are they sent and who by?
What Is Spam?
We call the unwanted letters and leaflets posted to homes ‘junk mail’.
Spam is the name we give to the email version of junk mail.
They are emails someone receives without asking for them.
They are sent to any email address that the sender has, and are never just for the person that receives it.

If you click the links or download the file, it could let the sender know that your email address belongs to someone. They could then send you lots more spam.
Filling in details on an online form like this gives your personal information to a stranger. This is called phishing (pretending to be a real company to get your details).
Protect Your Inbox
When using email, it is important to try to protect yourself from spam.

If you open an email and then realise it’s spam…
Make sure you do not reply to it or forward it.
Don’t click any links or attachments in it - these could be really harmful!
You can still move the email to your junk folder or report it after you’ve opened it.
Tell a trusted adult that you opened it by accident, just so they can check that nothing harmful has happened.
Protect Your Inbox
There are things you can do to prevent more spam emails in the future…
Avoid putting your email address into websites or online forms unless you have to. Try not to sign up to mailing lists.
Send any unwanted spam emails straight to your junk folder.
