keep in mind when you use an addy like [email protected] , people will hit them randomly like

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]'

but just by the sheer amount of it lately i think theres more too it..

Im consider myself fairly internet savvy and after signing up to pimproll i was FLOODED with spam emails. starting a few hours after i got my "accepted" email.. this address was new had never been used for any other sponsors , wasnt a dictionary word or a tardemarked name ( i.e. [email protected] ) i spoke with pimproll and they were very adamant that it wasnt from them and such , and while i do believe their integrity , i think theres a bigger problem at hand with emails being stolen..

With most cases like the one you presented bove , there are ways ( as remote as they may be ) that you could have been spammed and they werent the badguy. but in my case above i cant find any rational explanation other than pimproll's database is hacked or someone has a backdoor , or their email server is being snooped
