I've often wondered how many email addresses get "lifted" from these bookmaker sites and passed onto spammers trying to flog their personal tips. I've never had so much spam in recent times, and in the main the only place they could have obtained my email is from such sites.

aceofspades-spot on! Like you say, brand new email addresses that you create purely for those purposes are spammed by Joe Bloggs.

A typical PR statement in th RP today

'Importantly, this does not affect customer passwords or banking data'

Can I ask the PR man, if you didnt know the other personal details had been lifted, how do you know the above is 100% safe?
