Tip: Generate Fake Emails And Credit Card Numbers With MaskMe

Now here’s something awesome.

If you don’t feel like entering your real email or phone number when signing up with some (especially dodgy) web site, then MaskMe is the extension you’ve been waiting for.

Here’s how it works:

When you install the add-on and signup on any new website, it will allow you to generate “fake email” address, which then will forward confirmation link (or any other information) to your real inbox. The result? You real email address won’t be sold to email marketers and when you do start receiving spam, you can delete the fake one at any time.

Not only that but for $5 / month you can also mask your phone number and Credit Card data, which (assuming you trust Abine with your data) is simply amazing.

MaskMe currently works with Chrome and Firefox with Internet Explorer version coming soon.

Give it a go.
