Did you receive an email from a 'friend' asking for money?

If they would use 1USA.Com for their email account instead, they probably wouldn't haven't fallen victim to scams in the first place.

On AOL, Aim.com, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Web.de and others...
you need to be more careful that you don't respond to a hoax.

If you are using an email account hosted at 1USA.Com, and you have the setting turned on to Verify Senders, then you are probably not receiving any hoaxes in your mailbox.
For more info about getting a better-protected email account, check out 1USA.
 

And for people who would rather use less secure Email Servers than 1USA.Com, here's a tip.

Anytime you enter your email address onto websites like Craig's List and others... you WILL begin to receive scams... forever.
Once they get your email address, it's all over.
Some Hotmail customers receive 200-1,000 emails per day due to this mistake.
The solution:  Contact the 1USA Webmasters to create a temporary Email Alias for you.  Use the Alias until the items are sold, then we can delete the alias.
This is a free service to 1USA customers.
 

 Anchor: "to-address"
For some reason, people like to make their emails look like spams.  They will put their own email address in the From line and in the To line, then send a blind copy to everyone on a list.   This is exactly what Spammers do.

Instead, the people should put all email addresses in the To line.
Reason:  As of 2010-11, the anti-virus software will automatically put emails not addressed to you into a "spam folder".  You might not ever see those emails.

As a result, 1USA now notifies the senders of this potential problem by returning a "To-Address is required.  Need a 1USA email address in the TO LINE in order to accept."

Another reason:  If an email is not To you... then is it important?
Probably not.

So if someone has a Mailing List for an important reason, they will use Mailing List Software that sends out individual emails one at a time.
Reason:  If their email bounces, they can manage their list better.

1USA customers may have access to our 1USA Mailing List Server... and can manage Mailing Lists via the Webmail interface... so that you don't need to purchase $100 mailing list software.

Email Etiquette has been around since the beginning of the internet.
Please read the article and mention it to your friends if they are not following proper etiquette.

Don't use Email for time-critical messages.
If your group has a meeting tonight and you are sending out a meeting reminder..;.
send out your reminder a day or two in advance of the meeting; not 2 hrs before the meeting...
because most people are busy and they don't sit at the computer... and they probably won't receive your email until after the meeting date. Some people only sit down at a computer and read their emails every few days, while others only read their emails once a week.

If you are receiving emails from Merchants and you no longer wish to receive emails from them, it is safe to click to Unsubscribe from their mailing lists.

Here at 1USA, your email address is protected from spammers & scammers.
It is safe to un-subscribe from merchant mailing lists.   Don't listen to your friends who have AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, etc.
They will tell you to never unsubscribe from a list. Their warnings do not apply here at 1USA.  Legit companies that you can safely Un-subscribe from:
BMGMusic.com
Boscov's
Cabela's
Disneyonline.com
Kohls.com
Overstock.com
Ticketmaster.com
etc.

One of the worst things about Email is... when a little old lady "who doesn't know anything about computers"  gets a CableModem connection... then starts sending 10 MB movies as file attachments to all her friends who are still using a dialup connection.   Aarrgghh!!

Back in 2004, BarryZ mentioned that 40% of America is on any kind of connection that does 256k or faster.... and in 2010, one of President Obama's Publicity people mentioned that they are spending 113 Billion dollars to go from 60% to 73% broadband coverage in America.
That in itself tells you how many people are still using a Dialup connection.

Here at 1USA, we have a feature that can hold those large emails off to the side, so that if you feel like it, you can login to Webmail and view them later.
If you would like this feature turned on, please notify the 1USA Webmasters.

Here at 1USA, we also have a feature that can periodically remind your friends to not send you emails with large attachments.
If you would like this feature turned on, please notify the 1USA Webmasters.

Retrieving large emails on a Dialup connection generally takes 15 minutes per megabyte ... so a 9MB movie clip will take you 9 x 15 minutes to retrieve.
Our MegaSpeed service can cut that time down by two-thirds, but it still is a long time just to receive one email.

Don't be afraid to tell those people to be considerate!
What to say to them:
  1.   "I don't pay attention to the movie clip jokes that you have been sending me... so you can now stop sending them to me.  Take me off that mailing list."

  2.  "I am on a Dialup connection because the price is less than a Broadband connection.  If you would like me to receive the large file attachments that you are sending now that you have a broadband connection, please consider paying the difference for me so that I can read the large things that you are sending.  Please call my ISP, 1USA.Com, and they can bill you the difference.
