This only works if you’re using a Gmail email address. Let’s say your email is [email protected]. Now, I have no idea who has that email address. Probably someone at Google!
Anyway, when you give your email address to any website, instead of typing [email protected], you can type in [email protected], where “website” is the name of whatever website you’re signing up for. Google doesn’t read the plus sign, so anything after that is irrelevant. It’ll only read the email as [email protected]. So when you start getting emails you don’t want, check what email address it’s sent to. If it has the +website from a site you signed up for, but the email is from someone else entirely, you have your culprit!
