I assume that all the email addresses of bounty hunters who participated in the bounty on this forum are already available in such databases of scammers.
Not necessarily scammers, but online advertisers in general(though more of both).

Therefore, the only correct solution is not to click on links from emails that you received to this address.
That, and don't use your personal emails when collecting bounties and/or airdrops. It's not like creating a new email is expensive anyway. Though it's quite a hassle shuffling through multiple emails, it's a great sacrifice in exchange for privacy.

Usually you can use delimiter for the same main mail address to create sub addresses.
I have my own mail server running, where i can use either + or - to create sub addresses.

I know that googlemail also offers that, not sure about other free mail provider tho.

So with a mail address like mail@googlemail.com, you can receive mails to mail+scam1@googlemail.com, mail+scam2@googlemail.com, etc..

With that, you can only use one mail address (postbox) for multiple mail addresses. If you'll get a scam/phishing mail, to such a sub address, you'll know who shared/sold your mail address.

Creating such online databases is a violation of the privacy of cryptocurrency market participants. Therefore, the collection, storage and use of personal data is a crime. In addition, if your email address has ever been included in such a database, it will be duplicated in others. And that is why you can not use your main email address when participating in various cryptocurrency projects.

That can definitely work too. I personally just pay for email address aliasing features for the extra convenience and organization(along with the privacy advantages of having multiple email addresses). It's pretty much just €1 per month on Tutanota anyway, a very very small price to pay for extra convenience and extra privacy in my opinion.
