Hi all, is anyone else getting spam emails from a firm called “Enterprise Nation”, specifically to the email account they signed up to STW with? The spammers also know my name.

I’ve only ever used that particular email account to sign up to this forum so I don’t understand how this has happened.

Edit: 2 ways this could have happened?

1: STW user database has been compromised and sold to spammers
2: STW have sold the user database to spammers
3: Million to one shot chance that someone managed to guess both my real name and an email address I have literally used once, at the same time 🙂

somone linked to it from here once to ask peopel to vote for their business idea – you sure you didn’t follow link from stw and then use your ‘stw’ email address when you voted?

1. Not since that time a few years ago
2. No.
3. Unlikely.
4. You posted with the same name and email address on Usenet <—
