I do the same thing (using unique email addresses) and over the years several such addresses have been aquired by spammers one way or another. Until recently, it was mainly smaller sites and businesses that this happened with. But I was quite surprised when I started getting spam at the unique address I gave to Dropbox.
- cptskippy 13y agoI'm always disappointed when I receive SPAM from large online companies like that. SPAM on non-profit emails or from small businesses that probably use Outlook are no surprise but large IT related companies are disappointed. I was pleasantly amused when I got an email from my congress man asking my specifically about my email address and wanting to know what was going on. We had a nice back and forth conversation about it and I had a greater appreciation for him as a result because I knew that a human was actually reading my emails. More than that, he was looking at the email address.
