Pretty funny that I saved my draft of a similar thought process at the same time yours hit the list. I was just checking my email archives for those very same SPAM emails before sending. It might or might not be about Debian-User in that case. The ones I'm receiving are strangely targeted. They're being addressed to my first name at AOL. I had a-sumed they were from a particular genre of (unreciprocated) followers out on social media, but maybe they came from us posting on here, too. That was a topic on here a while back. That first name at AOL occasionally changes to something other than my own. On too regular an occasion, it becomes a relative's first name, instead. That potentially hints at some heavy duty online stalking being perped in the name of obvious phishing. Please be safe out there.....
