Spam problem.

I recently ordered my credit score online with experian. During the application for this I had to put my email address. Since then I,ve been bombarded with spam mail. I'm very careful who I give my email to and cannot see anywhere else the problem came, apart from experian. Has anyone else had this or similar annoying problem.

    I use a different (unique) address for every site that asks for my email address[1]. The only mail I've had from the one I gave to Experian have been from Experian. In fact the only 'big name' that have ever seen spam from were Glasses Direct.

    I think it's just a coincidence - maybe your ESP's spam filter broke down and you're seeing more spam than usual.
