I got one of those PP scam emails today that actually had my correct name on it. So where are scammers getting this info? Or is it dumb luck?

  • You mean they actually spelled Bajjerfan correctly? I too, am shocked.
  • I've received those before with my real first and last name... I wondered if a buyer or seller had at some point sold information

    I too got that email, but I wondered if they got it right because it's in my e-mail address firstname.lastname@domain.suffix

    Otherwise I'd be confused, HOWEVER, I recently asked somebody a question, a generic question, and they posted it to their ebay auction and in my question, I left my e-mail address and name. Could had easily been picked up by sweeping ebay as well. Gah! [Learned my lesson! Never leave your information in a question because the seller may very well post it to the auction without thinking]

    Anyways, just hit the delete key! image
