Priuschat shop email spam

I just received a spam message to the email address I used for the Prius Chat Shop.

Subject was "Enable protection against fraudulent use of credit cards !"

It includes a link to what looks to be a phishing site.

Just thought I would inform everyone. Its nothing to serious if you take the proper precautions. Either the address list was hacked, stolen, or sold. Most likely the addresses were sold by the company that handles the shop transactions and the spammers got a hold of the address through a third party.

I can track where my spam comes from because I have my own domain name and I setup a different email address for every site I sign up for. This allows me to track who is selling my information or not keeping safe. This also allows me to keep my spam to a minimum because I can block individual addresses.

 

Danny I know you would not sell the information but the company that handles the transactions might. It just depends on who all handles the email addresses.

 

Also Danny if you want a copy of the email so you have the header information I can send you a copy. Dont know what good it will do but I have it if you want it.
