SPAM
A genuine mailer to encourage a player to reopen a dormant account will address them by name, and give them a reminder of their account login number (not password, but this could be reset on request).
Spammers try to trick the receiver into thinking this is a genuine account they once had, but had completely forgotten about. Invariably, the "come back offer" will be exactly the same as the new player offer.
If this is a rogue casino (is it RTG?), they are likely to be sending out their own spam, hoping to fool people. When these people contact support to get a reminder of their long lost details, they will be told to just open a new account, because the old one has been wiped from the system. Thus they have tricked another unsuspecting punter into opening a new account.

Anyone ever seen this one. I know I don't have no account there, but according to their email they think I do. Looks like just more spam to me.....

This is a serious issue (again) that needs to be dealt with. What information is being passed on to third parties, and to what extent.
Casinos always state they never do this, however they cannot be believed, as the patterns of spamming are suggesting that it is mostly Email addresses that have previously been registered at an online casino are being targeted.
If this was unrelated to leaked personal details, casino related spam would behave in the same manner as other spam, such as falling in equal proportion into all mature Ema... | | Read Entire Entry |

Funnily enough it is a yahoo account. I find them pretty good for blocking spam. I dont really care too much about the spam, its easy enough to delete but a bit pissed off that my personal details are being passed on

also, 9 times out of 10, they have programs that use a brute-force attack against email servers, trying each and every character combination until it gets a match, then continues on. That's why you will get spam to an email address that you've never used anywhere else.....
Most email providers have tight blocks against this, but yahoo/gmail/hotmail are prime targets...

Don't use the Unsubscribe links in the spam emails.
When you use the unsubscribe link or respond and ask to be removed, they never remove you, all it does is let the spammer know he/she has a 'live' email address, that they can sell to another spammer or just send more spam to.
Never respond in any way to a SPAM and NEVER NEVER click on any links inside a spam email.
I would also suggest that if possible you disable all images in your email. If you can see a spammers images in an email they can 'see' your computer and again they know they have a 'live' address.

FWIW I get the same deluge that the rest of you are experiencing, sometimes as many a 100 or more per day per email address. My spam filters get about 70% of it but still, it is a PITA.
