Ich weiß, das zumindest ein Kollege die gleiche Mail bekommen hat.
Das komische daran ist, daß die Spam nicht so wie üblich an die Gmx-Adresse, sondern an die Firmen-Adresse gegangen ist.

Warum machen die sowas und warum sollte jemand so dumm sein, seine Adresse und alle Daten preiszugeben ?
Verkaufen die Spammer die so "gefischten" Informationen ?
Können die das überhaupt noch verkaufen, wenn die Informationen sowieso im öffentlichen Netz verfügbar sind ?
Oder ist das betreffende Listing nur eine ganz kleine Anzahl an "Fake-Informationen" ?

Hat das auch noch jemand anders im Forum bekommen ?
