Yes, You Need a Disposable Email Address! - Comments Page 2

Does anyone have a recommendation for buying smaller purchases from companies that this is your 1st purchase from?? I have had an unreasonable amount of vendors fulfill the order, but then charge some subscription for recurring orders or other bs. They are all parties I gave my debit number too, and it was crystal clear a one time authorization, but because it's a 2nd charge, my bank gives me a lot of pushback that I must have a dispute with the vendor since I entered an agreement with them with initial purchase. I read everything and never sign such terms, yet as outrageous and unethical as it is, the bank pushes these 2nd, 3rd and 4th charges through even if overdrawing me and fines me the overdraft too. I thought Albine was the answer to all of this, but after upgrading to premium they charge $5 per card number they make. Which adds up and often = to purchase, so I'll opt out of using, regret it every other time, as these naturally have been the biggest abusers. Plus Albine, put up another problem to creating unique cc for your purchases so I am cancelling as that was the whole point. I would like to be able to try new things and I would want someone to gambke with me if the shoe on the other foot, as there have been some great product that I am glad I tried. Problem is those certain deceptive companies that have decided that even if this is complete fraud it's a numbers game and they figure they'll make more in the long run because most people wait too long or give up if it's difficult at all etc. Impossible to get a refund on despite the "Guaranteed 60 no questions ask, blah blah. I have considered a separate account for these items so they don't interfere unsuspectingly, but again each initial purchase is so low that I can't put all money in the same account or they could get away with /more than they should again. In the time between Christmas and New Years,(which I am sure was no accident since so many people are making purchases at that time and new companies) yet, I have over $1,000 between 2 accounts and the associated fees that I have to go spend tons of time rejecting and dealing with my money being gone when I committed it to whoever or denied a in-store purchase which is humiliating. And no I can't get a credit card and Paypal quit their virtual card program and are this time an offender of 2 unauthorized withdrawals by Them in nearly identical amounts, on identical days mirroring mine, so you are initially thinking it's lefit. Money left both of my accounts and no one received. I happened to be the recipient of one of theirs which I doubt they reSalized so the money just vanished.?? Sorry for the rant, but I have lost my patience and shouldn't have to deal with all of the headache, lost time, and expense because they are getting away with it. I would love to outsmart them at their own gamble and block the surprise charge is they try. Thank you for any help or ideas :)

It seems the best option might be for you to be more selective with your vendors. Does Amazon, for instance, use this trick ? I doubt it very much.

Otherwise, I live in France, where any fraudulent electronic transaction must be reversed by the bank, by law. On top of this, one can attach a disposable credit card number generator to one's Visa account. Those numbers have a spending amount attached to them and can only be used by the vendor once. Cost is 12 €/year at my bank.

Don't know if these options are available where you live.

An absurdly lengthy explanation of the use of + which most will quickly realise is not adding anything & many sites will recognise & refuse to accept.
What is needed is a very low cost option to create a disposable email on the fly which can be used once & need not be remembered.
This article seems to not address this very simple requirement. Had to read comments to meet spamgourmet.

AHEM is a site where you can choose or generate your temporary email address, and use it however you like. The email will be erased from the server after a while, but you can also erase it manually. The service is free and easy to use.
