Once I download some third party software for my ASP.NET project they asked for Email, I gave them my Personal Email and from next day, surprisingly there was hundreds of SPAM mail in my inbox.
I guess these third party companies may sell our email address to marketing peoples and we need face such SPAMS...

Why the He** there is so many Email in my Inbox...Mad | :mad:

Daily I got 200+ mail in my inbox and one 1 or 2 are useful to me, Rest of the mail from Insurance companies, debit/credit cards, policies, bank BLAH BLAH... Dead | X|
