Like everyone else, I receive too much spam email. To help fight that spam email, I create a unique email address for each company I deal with. When I ordered from Spreadshirt.com, for example, I gave them a unique email address [email protected]. If someone sends spam to that email address, then only one company could have sold my address to the spammer–Spreadshirt.com.

I have been doing this for years, and most companies have not sold my email address to spammers. Spreadshirt.com, however, has sold my email address, and I know they did because I have received spam emails sent to the email address that only they had.

Do not order from Spreadshirt.com–they will sell your email address. What is to prevent them from selling your other information, too? In fact, why will they not sell your credit card information to identity thieves?

Clearly, instead of making money by selling t-shirts, they would rather sell customer information to email scammers.
