We understand the frustrations of an inbox filled with spam, bulkmail, phishing emails, unsolicited marketing emails, malicious attachments, and identity scams. Not only are they a nuisance, but they can also wreak havoc on your operating systems, threaten the security of your business, and jeopardize your identity and credit.
The number one question we hear is: “Why should I spend $8-10 each month, just to protect my inbox?”
To answer this question, let’s look at the numbers.
In an article written for ModernCrypto.org last September, Mike Hearn outlines a comprehensive and fascinating history of spam from the perspective of an engineer who has been on the inside of one of the largest webmail providers in the world (Gmail). Mr. Hearn proves in the article that not only does he have a rich, extensive perspective on arguably one of the digital age’s most pervasive pests, but he can also communicate some rather complex ideas in ways that are understandable for non-technical readers.

How much is peace of mind worth to you?
As Bulc Club continues to grow, we continually return to the idea that email should always be free. It’s a basic freedom that we’ve all enjoyed since the inception of the internet and we have no intention of changing that. In fact, Bulc Club doesn’t even offer an email service.

If you’re like most people, you switch credit cards, banks, and mortgage companies regularly. Maybe one has a better annual percentage or interest rate. Maybe you’re just tired of their poor customer service. Whatever the reason, you’ve decided you want to solicit another provider and end all business with the previous. If the business is ethical, they’d respect your decision, give you a virtual handshake, and wish you the best. Bulc Club, for example, will never share your personal information with anyone.

You may sometimes wonder how bulkmailers found your email address in the first place. Oftentimes, the process of collecting or harvesting email addresses is automated using a computer program called a spambot. These little buggers gather email addresses from websites, newsgroups, special interest group postings, public tweets on Twitter, and chat-room conversations. Their sole purpose is to seek out addresses that are publicly accessible and store them to a list to later blast with spam. These wretched little programs are the bane of our existence and with good reason: because they’re automated processes, they don’t discern if the address is valid or invalid, they don’t care if you’ve requested not to be contacted, and they don’t grow tired, sleep, or stop.
