Avoid Spam and Scams: Using Temporary Email for Protection
Learn how a temporary email address can act as a spam filter and phishing shield. Use a tempmail to sign up on risky sites and keep unwanted messages out of your inbox.
Spam and scam emails are a constant nuisance. Every time you give out your real email, you risk inviting more unwanted mail. A temporary email address immediately stops this problem at the source.
In practice, this means you can sign up on forums, download sites, or e-commerce platforms without fear. You’ll get the download link and maybe a few follow-ups, but once those emails arrive they can be auto-deleted.
Disposable emails also cut off phishing attempts. Scammers often send fake “bank” or “provider” emails to harvest data. If these go to a temp address, they vanish when the address expires.
Overall, making a temporary email is like creating a disposable barrier. Whenever a spam wave hits the temp address, your real inbox stays unaffected.
