I’ve made a specific email for NSFW 18+ internet websites (there’s one with achievements and I wanted to have recommendations) and this email address, being used at every single site I’ve visited more often, never got leaked.

Meanwhile I log in with Google and 4 hours later the nigerian prince asks me why I have changed my email address.

Configure an individual Mail address for every site you need one for. You then know who sells or loses your address without telling you.

Do you have some tidbits to share on who is being naughty? I'm curious.

Sadly no, I haven't received any spam on my 131 forwarding addresses. I have however, received spam on my new main account after sharing the address with my local hairdresser.

Fucking hair dressers, can't trust em. That's why I'm bald

What you need to do is get each individual hair cut by a different hairdresser and then you can see which one is selling your account details or something

But then I would lose my completely plausible excuse for having no hair. I'd have to admit to myself that is my genetics and not by choice haha

I recently started getting spam to my dailymotion account.
