Paypal now spamming too?

[Paddy]

Perhaps Ant is passing on our addys (j/k )

[LvR]

No such thing as luck involved in these matters I am afraid.

Somebody was harvesting e-mail addresses somewhere, and I would like to know where - My e-mail address is not advertised anywhere and I cannot even register at Paypal because I am stuck in a 3rd world country.

[dbdg]

Well in that case like paddy says it has to be Ant.

Come on dude how much did you make.

We should be allowed to string spam merchants up by their balls, once we work out who they are.

[Wombat]

I got something that looked like it was from PayPal, but appears to be somebody else. Nothing in the e-mail nor in the headers has a paypal domain.

[The Rock]

I got the same thing. I'd like to castrate this monkey. I HATE spam!!

Perhaps someone cracked the server here

[High_Jumbllama]

It went to my work account but noone elses which I did use for Paypal at one point. I have hardly even used that address except a dozen or so contacts.

It's been done before.

[GuchiGuh]

I receive an average of 10 spam emails every 30 minutes. so that means each morning...i clean out about 4 pages worth of spam email. so maybe i got it or maybe i didn't

[Jon P. Inghram]

Got that one on my virtually unused @cox.net account, but not on my main @yahoo.com one.

[LvR]

And here comes Microsoft with the greatest spam yet....................


exactly where the hell do they get e-mail addresses from?

[thop]

I got it too ... and now here is what makes me wonder: I got it on my eBay-only address as well! Either eBay snuck it out or one of my eBay "business partners".

[High_Jumbllama]

I get asked about what I think of their website often enough with all the patches I have to download. No surveys please!

[ElDonAntonio]

It's no coincidence we all got it. Either MURC was compromised, or someone there sold our adresses.
