Soap National and email addresses
« on: November 04, 2021, 11:25:27 am »
Just a warning.

I used Soap National some time ago and, as is my way, gave them a unique email address to contact me.

I'm now receiving regular spam from all and sundry on that email address, so they have either had a data leak or have sold on details. I contacted Dave at Soap National some time ago to ask why I was receiving spam on an email address I only gave to them but I've not had a response.

Beware. If you deal with them, use an email you don't care about or that you can easily filter.

Was it Soap National that had a data leak some years ago which resulted in a load of peoples card details being sold on and money going missing from accounts?

Edit:- ignore above, that was Wintecs.

I’ve found them incredibly helpful.
Hope they don’t get hit by gdpr.
