And even though it is a catch-all address (meaning
anything@mydomain.com comes through to me and no other BargainsAU spam hit me except this one), and out of all the possible combinations, they chose fordforums_com_au.
This even though it has been 11 years since I last visited and had kept absolutely no record of it.
On top of this, other users on the same forum are reporting that they have received the same spam to other email addresses of a different convention which also has only ever been given out to fordforums.com.au (i.e. a work email address).
This spammer must have a magic crystal ball or something to be able to target users of this specific forum according to the email address on file, unless you guys actually sold your members email addresses to the spammer yourselves?
