I've set your account on Vertrauen on to be able to receive network mail, so you won't be receiving any more unwanted Internet email.

why did they pick me in the first place? i dont
even know these people.

Who knows.

It happens sometimes. One time I created a new email address somewhere, and as an experiment, I didn't use it at all for anything, and after a while I started receiving spam emails at that address. People find email addresses and then start sending spam to them.

if it was never used or published openly, it was likely found via a dictionary attack...

People find email addresses and then start sending spam to them.

sometimes they just make them up and hope something sticks to the wall... that's why the preview modes in email readers are so dangerous... they'll hide 1x1 pixel graphics in the message and the preview will make a request for the image unless loading remote images is specifically turned off...

they'll link the graphic with a code that signifies the list that spam run came
from... they simply look in their logs and see the request... then they can say, "ok, there's a hit from this list of 1000" so they'll make another list with some of those and keep doing this until they whittle the list down to viable email addresses...
