drolnhoj Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I go onto Ancestry regularly and don't get hundreds of dodgy e-mails as far as I am aware, so that would perhaps indicate it isn't that one. Same here. I think it may be WBAC.com that's your problem. Edited February 12, 2015 by drolnhoj typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bloke Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 When asked for you email just put.. anon@any.com Any.com is actually a real domain. If someone at the other end is actually reading all the spam you are sending in that direction, then you may be giving out personal details. Presumably WBAC wants things like home address and car details? If you want to use a fake domain, always use example.com. Edit: just seen that's an old post I've replied to, but point still stands.

Berberis Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 If I did that I don`t think it would stop them coming through,would it? Use a site like 10 minute mail (http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 If I did that I don`t think it would stop them coming through,would it? It would mean you'd know which one it was though, and you could report them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I avoid this by having my own domain, which comes with unlimited email addresses. So I use the company name as the recipient at that domain i.e ancestry@mydomain.co.uk Makes it pretty easy to see who's flogging your email address. Exactly what I do.
