Did you know: You can track who is selling your gmail address to spammers…

Written Sep 30, 2009 by Mike Shinn

When giving out your gmail account information when signing up for different websites, sign up using a +info inside of the email account such that chase@gmail.com would be entered on the website as chase+wellsfargo@gmail.com.  This email will still go to chase@gmail.com, but would let you know who has given out your email address.

Yes, this is really helpful. Sellers and spammers are so hard to track. I didn't know that there could be a possible way to know them. Very short and so easy to remember. Thanks for sharing. Will tell my colleagues about it.
