My SPAM is Stealing My MONEY!

SPAM folders are by design supposed to filter the bad emails from getting to my standard in box, right? I will admit that I am not as tech savvy as I should be, or would like to be, so I probably have not taken the time to look at the SPAM filter settings for my email inbox, let alone adjust them to my liking.

So, for arguments sake, lets assume that the settings are whatever the email system initially established them to be, for my protection. Unless I am wrong, the design is to block any unwanted, solicited, damaging emails from getting to the standard inbox and thus eliminating the time needed to sift through them and discard what I do not want to see or open.

This information filtration system is supposedly designed to save me time, maybe eliminate viruses and remove from my line of sight garbage style emails received that I really never asked for, didn’t expect, and could possibly harm me in some way. Perhaps not physically, but financially, mentally, or emotionally. I think that is an accurate description of why the SPAM portion of my email system is there in the first place.

So, while its design is to save and protect me, is it potentially harming me, or preventing me from positive opportunities? Although it is not on my daily To Do list, I occasionally click on the SPAM area of my emails to see just what is sitting in there. Maybe that part of me that is curious of just what I was sparred of needs to know.

To my surprise, on more than one occasion I have discovered emails in SPAM that I actually did need to receive, or could be found useful, and in fact at least once found a money making opportunity that I wanted to be aware of. But, my email system, being smarter than I am, took it upon itself to filter out these important emails so that they did not get to my eyes directly as all the other unfiltered ones did.

It makes you wonder how many wanted emails, and emails that are positive and good for me are being grabbed by SPAM and dumped in a bucket to pile up and be discarded later? I mean, that is what I usually have done with the emails in the SPAM area – trashed them, without really looking through them to see if maybe something was inserted there that shouldn’t have been.

However, now that I have discovered that some of the SPAM labeled emails are in fact not supposed to be there and are what I wanted to see, I no longer just trash all of the emails in SPAM, and take a minute or more to do my own filtering of what truly is SPAM vs what the email system thinks is.

So, if you were like me and maybe lost a great deal, JV opportunity, property seller, or property buyer, or worse, a notice of money received into your account because your email system was trying to protect you by routing those emails to SPAM, and in essence stealing the opportunity from you without you even being aware of it, then maybe after reading this you will check your SPAM settings, or at least the SPAM area more often.

That is providing this message made it past your SPAM filter settings!
