Probably spoof e-mails. The same thing happened to my yahoo mail account. Once the contact list is out there it goes on for months using different e-mail pseudonyms that sound plausible.Last edited by BlasterBates; 30 January 2016, 13:24.I'm alright JackComment

Yep I received the vegetable email as well. When I contacted SJD they said:Thank you for forwarding this across. This is a fake email which has not been sent by SJD Accountancy. Our IT team our looking into this issue.Comment

Mine was was signed by sjdaccountancy.com when I looked at the headers - I'm not an expert on this stuff, but as far as I could tell it came from their domain.Last edited by mudskipper; 30 January 2016, 20:07.Comment

Agreed, definitely from there domain - the email chain address was perfect, even the email signature is correct of the accountant.
I suspect they are trying to not freak people out that essentially, someone has got past there firewall.Comment

Slightly convoluted route as myco domain is alias for mydomain, which fwds to my mypersonal gmail account ...
I rarely use myCo's email address - but I was an SJD customer, so they would have it on their list.

It may have been their mailing list providers that was compromised.
I've bought a couple of things from partsgateway for my car, and I get spam to [email protected] - a bit of Googling showed other people had the same issue.
Obviously reporting this to the company elicited no response as usual.Comment
