email (electronic mail) - to send or receive typed messages via the Internet
email address - person’s or organization’s address used to receive email (for example,
abby@AskAbbyStokes.com)
emoticon - playful use of keyboard characters and symbols to represent emotional responses (also
referred to as smileys), usually used in email or text messages (for example, >: -( means angry)
phishing - scam email sent to elicit private information from the recipient to be used for identity theft
snail mail - nickname for mail delivered by the postal service that negatively refers to the time it takes to

Spoofing – Email spoofing is when you receive an email message that appears to be from someone
other than the actual sender. This method enables the junk e-mailer to hide his or her identity from the
recipient. In spoofing, the sender places a false return address on the junk message. When spoofed, the
recipient has no idea who sent the message and has no way of responding or stopping the problem.
Emails can also contain a spoofed web site address.
