Did you know?
- To minimize the amount of spam you receive you don't click on
unsubscribe links.The most important point to remember when
unsubscribing from spam is that if you didn’t originally sign up to
receive the mail, or if you don’t recognize the sender or company
sending the email, then don’t unsubscribe. Trying to unsubscribe from
one email can start a flood of mail from other sources. So if you are
unsure, it is best to block the mail in other ways. When unsubscribing
from mail, always check that the links in the mail go to the correct
company site and not to a phishing site.
Don’t publish your work email address on any web site or discussion forum.
If you have to include your email address, obfuscate it (for example,
write it as “myname at mycompanydot com” rather than
“myname@mycompany.com”), or include it in an image file. This makes
harvesting your email address much more difficult.
Use a separate email address to sign up for newsletters, online
posting, and trade shows. Then, if the mailbox starts receiving an
overabundance of spam, you can delete the mailbox or more aggressively
filter it.

Meet our team
Changing of the guard. October 30th was the last working day for
Michiel van der Blonk who, after 5 years with CaribMedia, has taken up
an IT teaching post at a Government school, where he will be passing on
his knowledge to the young minds at EPI. On behalf of our entire team,
Daphne and myself would like to thank Michiel for the years of service
and wish him every success in his new position. We would also like to
welcome our newest web designer Teo, who will introduce himself below.
Hi, my name is Teo Farro. I am the newest member of CaribMedia.
Since I can remember I was always taking things apart to know how they
worked. Some times I didn’t manage to put it back together as it was.
And in those cases I made my own version of it.
