By joining different sites say money making sites I think our emails are already exposed. Indeed I have received a lot of emails from unknown senders, I mean senders that I do not know. I don't bother to read 'em because for sure it will directly go to my trash folder.

I have a separate email address that is used only for when I order samples or have to leave an email for contests or bonus cards etc. I do not like when my personal mail is bombarded with crap and junk mailings. The free account I have does not have an address, phone number or any other personal info attached to it.

yes i agree with you. it is not proper to share emails with strangers. email is intended for someone who wants to keep in touch with you. but if you don't know them personally then avoid giving out.

Yup, I always give my email add. BUT I never give my primary one. If a really stranger I give my secondary email. So that in case of stranger want to send scam. It will not affect my personal email, which use for my personal networking thing. Happy Lotting.
