Report spam and unsubscribe from spam emails

Use a temporary email ID

When you share your Gmail ID on different sites, then this ID goes to many third parties. In such a situation, the risk of getting many types of spam emails increases. Sometimes these spams look very valid and you can get trapped in a phishing attack.
In this case, instead of giving your primary Gmail ID, you can give a temporary ID.
Websites like temp-mail.org provide you free temporary IDs. You can use a temporary ID from any such site.
This way you can keep your primary Gmail account secure and spam free.
