Um, yeah, I figured that. But I created the email alias account but I have never used it to buy anything yet. Besides PayPal, no one else in the world has this account.
As for the account and ebay id, well, the above still applies. We use an ebay account established in `97. My concern is did this information some how get randomly guessed by a spammer or did the information originate from paypal. I'm making no accusations just trying to figure out if it's time to file a formal legal complaint against a company for violation of their own rules. But to do so I need to determine what the probably is of being randomly spammed over that of someone in the company selling a list. > -----Original Message----- > From: List Mail User [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2006 1:26 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: Gary W.
