Spam Costs You More Than Just Money.
Shelling out for more of each—because individual file sizes keep growing.
Spending more money to store untold gigabytes of worthless messages not going to be read.
With the uptick in email being sent, trying to keep up with the volume in inboxes is difficult and time consuming.
Even if only a few seconds is spent to get rid of each unopened spam message, it adds up to minutes a day, hours a month, and days a year, all dedicated to hitting that delete button.
Spam creates an unnecessary expense.
Lost time is lost revenue.
It is suggested that 15 seconds on average is used to process each spam email.
It is expensive maintaining a server; and spam is increasing this spend.
Phishing emails are getting more dangerous all the time as hackers and spammers come up with new ways to get around anti-spam defenses.
Some people may be savvy enough to avoid falling for phishing tricks, but just one errant click could set off a chain of events that leads to a data breach. Everyone makes mistakes now and then, unfortunately.
If these spam emails were not received, then the mailbox would be cleaner with less risk of being caught out.
Not just extra energy costs to the receiver of these emails, but there is also a recognized environmental impact to spam, marketing and advertisements.
