    The best is when you’re bored at work one afternoon with nothing to do and you read the emails!! I usually do that about once a month, just to find out how much viagra is going for these days…

  2. Karen

    just used it to leave this comment!

  3. It IS a bit sad when you realize that such an account is able to accrue more than 100 spam messages in a little less than 3 months.

      100 in 3 months? My old email gets more than that in a day or two. You clearly don’t have enough people who want to make your penis bigger.

      Try harder! You can get there too!

      =D

      Even more awesome than this, however, is switching to Gmail so you don’t ever have to worry about it. Spam-B-Gone.

    My spam email account has so many email in it. There’s well over 6,000. I haven’t really checked it in a long time. I do have like 5 email accounts though. One for spam, one for work, one for friends, one for other, and one no one knows about so I can send prank emails to my friends and they don’t know its me.

  5. HAHAHAHAHA… I TOTALLY have one of these… I check about once a month and just hit delete ALL!

  6. make sure you check it regularly, though, or it might…*gasp*…become inactive! and then you have to make a new one.

    i check my old email every few weeks to make sure nothing real got through (it does sometimes). i love reading all the spam titles :-)

    The domain name sorryaboutthat.com is for sale! I am kind of tempted to purchase it and actually set up that email address… Hmm…

  8. My old college email turned into this when I got a more professional one. Amazing how many people think I should look at their pictures.

  9. TrixieRix

    I use it all the time just to post comments on sites like these!

  10. Steph

    I would die if I did not have one of those!

  11. I wish I thought about that when I first got the Internet :)

  12. Beverley

    I regularly cycle through those :) I used to have a normal email account that ended with a 1 and when it got too spammy I moved on to sameemailaddress2…. but it INSTANTLY got spammed. Same with same3 – but then I caught onto the spam-me-here address idea.

    So I have that, and one for mailing lists that I trust (but not THAT much), and my real one.

  13. Nora

    The e-mail that I use now used to be my spam one, but then I started giving it to friends. It’s a horrible one so my friends make fun of me for it, but I never knew I was actually gonna give it out. I should probably make a new one for real use.

  14. Sal

    What a great feeling when you give that one out!!!

  15. cdsdfsdf

    What a great feeling when you give that one out!!!

  16. Thanks to the wonderful service provided by Sneakemail (see “website” above) *ALL* of my E-mail addresses are spam accounts.

    It creates a unique address for every site, which you can later turn off if it gets too spammy. Plus you know exactly which site it was who spammed you.

    Awesome!

  17. Berkeley Sci

    My spam account is currently at 1584 spam-mails. Awesome!

  18. André

    Look up mailinator. I am posting with the email address “foo@thisisnotmyrealemail.com”

  19. Laura

    This is so awesome!!!!

    I forward to:
    Bill Gates,

    my ex wives.

  21. roxanne

    I actually used to have 20 spam email boxes at one time!!!

    I have one that is so obvious….roxannespambox@(domainname)….still get tons of junk.

    I really think they believe I am a hermaphrodite. I get offers for viagra and to make my appendage larger (which i don’t own, tyvm) in one email, and in the next, how to get bigger knockers…..oy….

  22. love love love this post! i read it days ago and thought about it for days with a smile on my face. had to post a comment :)

  23. just found your blog on google, i am very impressive, awesome writing skill and great information.

  24. The key to successful long term investing is not is predicting the bubbles, but in creating a reasonable long term asset allocation

  25. The BEST feeling is when you EMPTY it.

    VERY Awesome.

  26. Merci pour ce post vraiment intèressant

  27. I was very glad that I noticed this internet site. I wished to thank you for this great information! I definitely appreciated just about every bit of it and I have added your web log to find out more about the new stuff you post in the future.

  28. haha, i thought i was the only person that did that. apparantly not. yes! awesome indeed. i check it once a month as well and don’t bother to delete. too many to sift thru.

  29. iivari

    doesnt anybody know of 10minutemail.com ? sheesh

  30. camiwa

    Back in the day, before you had to wait for the email to “unlock” whatever you signed up for, I’d just use candice@hotmail.com (my first name) even though it wasn’t my email.

    They never bounced back, so someone must have had this as a legit account. I’d like to apologize for all of the emails you got because of me.

    I have to laugh, the first time I got, “Before you can get X, you must click the link on the email we just sent you,” I was like OH CRAP, I can’t get into candice@hotmail. That’s when I got my own spam email.

  31. I wish I thought about that when I first got the Internet !=!==

    I once had an email account, but I stopped using it. I didn’t use it for anything, not spam, not nothing. One day I was bored, and logged into that account, and around a thousand emails from spam exploded in my face. I treaded through random promotions from clothing stores I never set foot in, chain mail from forgotten friends, and then this really random email from someone I’ve never heard of. Curious, I opened it. And it from some guy who thought my email adress was his WIFE’S. So there was this gooey message there, and I was seriously creeped out. I was in fourth grade, man! So I deleted the account. Da end of the guy who thought his wife was an awesome ninja.

    • wendywithaurora

      That is totally creepy!
      I wonder too, how is it the computer knows your interests and all that gooey stuff nobody should know! This confirms the reasons I didn’t want one in the first place, but am now hooked.

      • wendywithaurora

        btw I’d eat wild flowers, cow corn and the duck I had to shoot before I’d eat spam!

        • wendywithaurora

          wait, I never shot the duck, but I did have to pluck and cook it. Sometimes you just gotta’ do what a hungry persons gotta do.

  33. Lina chaker

    Lool, i totally have one of these! I haven’t checked it for probably two years now, but I regularly use it so I know its not inactive!

  34. Novhidet

    Lol so true!
