I got an unusual deluge of spam today. I was trying to think of any new supplier I had ordered from and the only new thing I did yesterday was sign up last night to the 'cheap energy club' on here. Could be coincidence of course. Anyone else experienced that?

    I'm in the cheap energy club and have had no spam at all today.

    I got a deluge of spam the morning after signing up to this 'energy club'. I'm talking 5 times the usual amount - which has been pretty standard for years. It all went to the email I signed up with and was mostly financial.
    I couldn't see immediately how to unsubscribe so I changed everything - including constructing a silly email addy. Result - it's gone back to about 20% above normal.
    I think I might create a new account with a new temporary disposable email just to test this out. Either way I'm pretty sure the spam was related.
