eTransfer: do you use your real email address?

Post Body

Recently I have been selling a lot of stuff on Facebook marketplace and I use eTransfer to get paid. However, there has been a surge in scam attempts where after someone agrees to pay me upfront and I give them my email address, they send me a phishing link. I block them right away but it got me thinking... these scammers can easily get my email address which they can pair with my real Facebook name and any other info they can find there. Should we all be using dedicated email addresses for eTransfer?

Comments

I don't see how that would make a difference. They'd still send you phishing requests on either emails, they can't do much with an email also if you have auto deposit deactivated.
