Weird SPAM? "You should have been careful..."

Has anybody else gotten a weird SPAM entitled "You should have been careful..."

This SPAM suggested that I had clicked on a porn site and wanted me to send some money...

Um, no.

The weird thing is that this SPAM was sent to the email address I created and used only for correspondence with VW regarding my Touareg buyback...

I think that somewhere along the line, that process was compromised. There's no other way anyone could have gotten this particular email address..


It would be helpful to know if others have gotten similar SPAM...

This scam began within the last 6 months. Your e-mail was probably pulled off the dark Web and there was a hack somewhere, although, in the infinite wisdom of the EPA, its also possible that buyback information exists in a public database. In either case, I would think that you would hear from others, who got similar spam mail.

I get those on a gmail address that I have never published anywhere for any reason. Since it uses a common word I assume it is was compromised by dictionary attack. It even gets those porn exploitation spam emails.

I just received the same spam with my tdiclub user name/email. Apparently their server has been hacked!
