Are you worried about spam in your precious gmail account ?

If yes, then you would like to consider making aliases of your gmail id to use when you’re not sure whether you’re signing up for something safe or not.

It is a very simple task to provide an alias of your gmail id. Whenever you sign up on the internet on some site that you think may not be safe(or a site which might send you spam),all you have to do is give out the email address as [email protected]

For example if your email id is [email protected],you can provide [email protected] or [email protected] .You can put anything after the + and all email sent will still go to your gmail account.

In the event that you did give your email to a spammer and you start receiving spam, don’t worry! Just create a filter, and make everything that is sent to [email protected] go to the trash. This way all the spam that you might get will automatically be deleted.
