is a disposable email address service. When you visit ThrowAwayMail.com a new email address is generated for you. The generated email address can immediately receive email. Any email that is received will show up on the main page. No one other than you will see the emails that are received.
It is important to note that an email address expires after 48 hours. When an email address has expired, the email address and any received emails will be gone. A new email address will be generated upon visiting this website.
There are many reasons for using a disposable email. You may want to give someone an email address without revealing your identity. Or you may want to sign up for a website or web service but you are concerned that the website will send you spam in the future. Completing surveys, completing forms on a site you are unsure of, to put off an annoying sales person, or when a company email address won’t do… these are but a few examples.
WARNING
This is as much a warning as a tip.
Knowing this is available with just a click in seconds should be a reminder that “things are not always as they appear”. When you view an email in your inbox, something appearing familiar... may not be from a friend or business you expect.
You have already experienced emails from your “bank”, the online store you shop at or maybe a long-lost friend. Often the emails come from connections on Facebook. So many people leave their Facebook profiles open for the public to view and someone can easily grab contact information. As they do, they can use a temporary email to bait you with a story or fake offer.
Facebook privacy is an easy fix. Here is a video from Kim Komando
HOLIDAYS
