Quote - Hmm insteresting but I buy all the time and before July never recieved spam or phising emails, its somewhere but where is the whole point of this thread,

This moring I recieved 4, which means either some of the spammers have been taken offline or they are gearing up for a double whammy

So is that the general consensus, that it started to be serious in July? A clue as to when the infiltration happened, perhaps? Therefore perhaps a clue to who?

I'm surprised there is not a poll to get data about this. I wonder how many are like myself. I made a purchase after July - got hit with spam. Changed my address and make no purchases, no more hits with spam.

I realize there are probably plenty of people who made a purchase and have NOT received spam. We can't learn anything from that, unless you believe the spammer's system is perfect and that 100% of potential victims are in fact spammed. Then we could dismiss the marketplace as a unique issue.

On the other hand, if everyone who receives spam made a purchase after July, that would be pretty interesting.
