How come when you sign up for certain sponsors.... - GoFuckYourself.com

.....after a few weeks you start to receive tons of spam? Are they selling our information? Because I have used a certain e-mail adress for about 18 months now and before I never received any spam whatsoever.

No its not.

I always make sure to sign up with an alias like [email protected] lets me see who does what.

very rarely i have got spam only from a few sponsors. the major sponsors dont do it of course.

That's funny you mention this.
I use a certain email address only for sponsors.
I get tons of emails from them, which, I guess is acceptable.
But every once in a while I get a slew of useless spam emails from non-sponsor related things to that address only used for sponsor signups.

hmmmmm......

How can you tell? The spam e-mails are something in the line of. I'd say the only way to test this it is by creating 20 unique emails, then signup to 20 sponsors using each e-mail adress created.
