I changed my address for all my financial institutions today. The salesrep asked me if I wanted to give my email address so that they could email me important information? I said, "No, thanks. I prefer you use U.S. mail to contact me."
I know if any email coming in "looks" as if it's from my bank or credit card company, it's spam, because none of my financial institutions have my email address. That's one way I protect my security.
