Another tip: for online purchases, use privacy.com virtual credit cards. (Did you know when you use PayPal, sites can see your email, name and address?)

- brewdad 3y agoI kind of want the site to have my name and address so they know where to send my goods. Of course, for digital purchases, your point is completely valid.
- yomlica8 3y agoAre you saying that privacy.com also creates fake names and addresses for the purpose of charging? I always assumed it was just another number in your name. (never used this service, but it does seem useful)
- notfed 3y agoYou can type any name or address and privacy.com will accept the transaction. Security rests more on pausing/resuming cards, locking them to vendors, or setting price limits.
- mmh0000 3y agoWell, yes. How else will they mail the <useless junk> you ordered to you? It does annoy me that paypay doesn't let me enter custom email addresses to give the merchant. I've had to change my paypal email address several times now due to stores selling it to spammers.
- ranger_danger 3y agoI haven't seen spam in decades. What are you doing wrong?
- mmh0000 3y agoShopping at scummy web stores that accept PayPal.
