I just received an email from somebody trying to sell me a domain.

This is how the email begins:

"Hello Sir,

We understand that you are the owner of the domain name xxxxxxxx.com,"

They emailed me directly using the email address that Moniker has on file. My privacy guard is active. WTF yo?

When I pull up a whois, I get:

Moniker Privacy Services
20 SW 27th Ave.
Suite 201
Pompano Beach
FL
33069
US

So, how in the hell did these people get my email address?
