Technical How did they get my email address?

Deleted mine after reading about it here.

 

People sell emails all the time. It's a business now. So either someone sold us out and sold our emails or in small lettering this is part of the agreement we took joining the hamb, or someone hacked them. Either way don't worry Guys it's just the times now. No privacy. So keep your zipper up, they are watching you,

Yup...me too...they are based out of England it seems.

Somewhat related the Missus wanted to get some Starbucks points but you need their App...so I take her phone and find it an start to download it and it wants me to okay it to go through contacts, photos this and that and I thinking why the heck does it need to go through the entire phone to give me some Starbucks points.

I have had another Vender related email at least one other time.

I do get Hamb email alerts for conversations of which I probably authorised and am completely Ok with.

 

I got one and I went ahead and clicked on the link to their website and got a 505 error message

 

& Watch out for those Nigerian Prince's.

Spam. Anyone can get your email at any time by using your ISP. All they need to do is belong to anything that you have emailed or checked out on the internet. Same thing when you get all of those spam emails from other sources and **** sites.

When we first got the internet, we kept getting all kinds of spam from the **** sites and the wife was always pissed off at me. Well, a buddy of mine told me about "link attaching" at the time (early 1990's). Then, the internet was wide open. Remember when they would advertise on television in the 1980's with a WWW.COM address? The internet was wide open then and anyone could link to where ever you sent an email or looked on the internet.

Anyway, my buddy told me to go home and delete my cache and then go to a known safe site (ebay for instance) and then recheck my cache. Sure enough, there it was.

So.....the next time the wife *****ed at me for having looked at ****, I had her delete the cache and then go to a known safe site. She couldn't believe what she pulled up afterwards....****! I told her to email her brother. When she opened his email that she received back from him, there were about 100 or so spam links attached. Uh-huh. She owed me big time! We made or own ****....bowshuckabowwow

I have ATT for my browser so when I receive an email that I suspect is spam, I place it directly into the spam folder with out opening it. I never hear from those sources again.

 

.....................Thanks for being vigilant, Ryan. Much appreciated.

 

Received the same message today. Just deleted it.

 

What I figured !!
Best site for traditional rods and customs!!

You want ***** enlargement pills from a Nigerian prince..... well sorry folks you need to look elsewhere

 

I got one also, sent it to spam without opening!

 

Frustrating, I get emails from my sister to try this product or this vitamin etc........my sister p***ed from the big C

 

I got it too, straight to trash unopened.

I guess I thought our email addresses here were private, admin eyes only?

Is there a setting for that somewhere?

 

I got one too.
******** that they somehow got our email addresses.

 

yes....didn't open it.......

 

Must have done something wrong, didnt get one

 

I just looked I'm clean. All my important stuff goes to my wife's email anyhow because I'm a 38 year old child that likes old car parts

 

your not on your own there....

 

Got one too

 

Got the email and opened it but didn't click any links. Deleted it.

 

I got an email from them too. I did a double take, opened the email to take a look, and then deleted it.

 

Me to !

 

Me too. Thanks for taking care of it Ryan.

 

I got one , looked at their stuff and deleted it.

 

I took it one step further than just deleting it. Their email address is in the header of the email, so I copied it, and then subscribed them to all kinds of **** that would make a normal person go blind. A**** others, they'll be receiving offers from the following **** sites: Teenagecycle****s.com, Buddyboyz.com, Checkmyhairycrack.com, and ****adiddledoo.com.

 

^^^^^^^Cl***ic! I didn't get the email....I feel left out!

 

Left out three

 

Right after I did a PSA on Johnny Law Motors, I started getting email from them.
