Temporary Emails And Their Use

Are you tired of signing up with a website and having to give out your email? Well you don't have to anymore. I will discuss the reasons for having a temporary email and where to find one. I assume all of you have had spam and if you are like me you have been spammed to near death from different websites. Your information is collected online and sometimes sold to different companies and people so that they can offer to sell you something and so that they can advertise to your email address. If you have ever signed up with something online that is free or claims to be and shortly afterward you start finding your inbox flooded with spam and advertisements this is for you.

That one company you signed up with gave your information to another company and then they gave or sold it to another one. Also anonymity comes into the picture if you don't want every spam and advertising company in the world knowing your email and who you are. So in order to make it so this does not happen you would give a temporary email to them upon signing up or just use it whenever they ask for a email. It will not be your personal email and you will not have to worry about spam. The good thing about temporary email is that you can usually make it up along the way. Just keep in mind you might need to remember it for future use.

So when giving a email you would give bobsemail@mailinator.com.
Now the @mailinator.com is the temporary email address service. All you have to do is go to mailinator.com and type into the box "bobsemail" and it will pull up your email. There are many of these services and some are so well known that websites will not accept emails with that format. So the best way to use this is know a few that you can use. Some of these services and usually most of them delete the email after a period of time. Use your imagination when thinking of an email to give and you will have endless email accounts that never give out personal information about you and never get you spammed to death. Use these and you will be even further untraceable. Here is a list of my personal favorite temporary email services:

Mailinator.com

Tempinbox.com

Mytrashmail.com

Mailexpire.com

Maileater.com




There are many more, just do a google search for "temporary emails" and you will find a list of different services you can use depending on your preference.
