I got this email to the mail address I only use for important things, never used it to sign up for random websites and it seems to not have been part of a data leak from what I found. I'm about as far removed from the kind of person who would sign up for this or, through collected leaked info, be part of the target audience. I'm a very leftist hippie dude from Sweden with a strong dislike of the US, so I have no idea how this shit ended up in my inbox... I don't use any social media except Lemmy and Youtube, and they are via separate addresses and none of those are the one who got this email. I use adblockers, anti-tracking etc. on both my phone and computer. Just confused and irritated about how this ended up getting sent to me.

I can’t tell if it’s just your standard phishing scam email or if it’s a “real” company that’s grifting stupid people.

The path of least resistance is always to delete and move on.

The only spam email I got today was from my usual guy who apparently hacked my computer and turned on my webcam and has videos of me masturbating. I better send him more bitcoin before he sends the videos to someone who cares!

Is it a Gmail account? Change that too and get a paid email account.

No, but I did send all my savings to a Nigerian prince. I'm so proud of myself, I can't even.

I can recommend using email aliases. I get virtually no unwanted mail since.
