Comcast selling email lists?

Post by cplclegg »

I have been spamed to death this past weekend and all of them to my 4 different Comcast accounts but the recipiant was never my correct address, just a variation of it. So, has Comcast sold thier lists? Anyone get spamed?

If the recipient was never your correct address, then you should not have recieved the emails. You must be looking at the "other" recipients listed in the "To:" field. If they are similar to yours, then you were the victim of a mail bot and they happen to also get your address.
