Masked Email Addresses

Why did I receive an email from Kijiji with a random mix of numbers and letters?
We did it on purpose! In order to protect your email from spam, phishing attempts, or fraudulent replies, we’ve hidden your email address to protect your privacy. Reply as you normally would!

How do we “hide” an email address? 
We replace the sender’s personal email address with a unique, anonymous email address. (We promise we won’t make you memorize it!)  This is what it will look like: (32j19va6og5v0@rts.kijiji.ca or c-jw81qk88mts7p@mail.kijijiautos.ca):

Why does my email address look normal when replying to some users, but not others?
When you reply to a business listing (or a listing in the "Jobs" category), we’ll show your full email address. This allows those users to confirm the identity of repliers, and begin their correspondence on the right foot.
