Spammer Hunting 101: How to Check if an Email Address is Fake

On today's episode of Rational Geographic, we look at the hunched spammer in its natural habitat. Spending most of its days behind the screen surfing the interwebs, the spammer actively seeks out ignorant and uninformed victims by the millions. These villains have become so skilled in their craft that it is almost impossible to distinguish fake emails from legit ones. Before we go any further, let's look at some statistics and see how many people have fallen victim to these email spamming fiends.

Over 110 billion emails are sent every single day; some of them real, others fake. These emails are targeted at individuals, employees, and companies. The scary part is, research shows 94% of employees can't tell the difference between genuine emails and those meant for phishing. Sure, you probably receive hundreds of emails a week. How on earth are you expected to manually check the validity of each one? How can you make sure that an email address isn't fake?

Lucky for all you spammer hunters out there, you came to the right place. In this segment, we'll show you how to identify fake email addresses as well as how to kill these spampires and put them in the coffin they belong – the spam folder.
