2 Safest Ways To Share Your Email Address Online

Since Internet is packed with spammers it’s unfeasible to share our email address online. Sometimes we come across the situation where we require posting our email address in places like Blog posts, forums or social media sites etc but unfortunately posted email address copied to spammers database and our inbox starts filling with junk and spam mails.

That is the reason most of the internet users concerned about posting their email ids online and always finding ways to post it safely or just “Don’t”. Still, some people used to try different methods like adding images of email address or adding spaces among letters or adding extra special characters among letters (eg: myname (at) email (dot) com ). This all those methods make it more difficult to the people who is looking for your contacts.

But Nothing to worry, here are two safest and Easiest way to share your email IDs.

1. reCAPTCHA Mailhide

reCAPTCHA Mailhide is another service by reCAPTCHA a popular CAPTCHA code for blogs and websites on internet. This service is owned by Google. I recently came to know about this cool handy free online tool to block email spammers. Using reCAPTCHA Mailhide you can safely post your email IDs. Since its Google service no need to worry about its ability.

How To Use reCAPTCHA Mailhide:

Visit reCAPTCHA Mailhide page and the page looks like image bellow. You will see a text box and Protect It! button on the page. Type the email ID you wish to protect and click on the button Protect It!

Once you click on Protect It! button you will see a new page with two text box with code. One is for URL and another HTML code.

The URL one works like a link where you can add this code to a link where you can post your email address something like this:

URL: Click Here To See my Email ID. (Click on Here to revel my Email ID).

HTML: navi…@gmail.comOr the HTML code (see above example) will show you first two or three letters of your email ID and rest hidden.

If anyone wants to see your email ID they have to click on clickable part of email ID and they will receive a CAPTCHA to revel the email ID (Below Image). So your email ID is now protected from spammers.

2. scr.im

Scr.im is another email anti-spam tool which is different from the reCAPTCHA Mailhideand this is also convenient to use too.Lets see how it works.

How To Use scr.im Email Protector

Just visit Scr.im homepage, there you will see two text boxes one is for your email address and another your unique URL link. Fill your email ID in first text box, and here comes a tricky part before going to second text box you must think about something unique someone not taken yet, its not that difficult you can use text and numbers except special characters (refer to below image)

As I mentioned above this service is different from reCAPTCHA Mail Hide, it doesnt need any code or script to add to your website or blog, just grab your unique URL. In my case my unique URL is http://scr.im/trythis.

Once you click on Protect my email you will receive sharing options for different websites like, Facebook, forums and HTML docs etc (Last Image). Now try clicking on my unique URL : http://scr.im/trythis . You will see the page similar to below image.

There is a humanity check which asks you to select block of letters on your right hand that is identical to the image on the left or you can try simple CAPTCHA entering method also by clicking “Something broken with your browser? Try the failsafe CAPTCHA mode” in the bottom of the screen.

Thats it. Now you can share your email IDs without worrying about spam and spammers.
