I get a lot of spam - who doesn't? But what I don't get is spam trying to sell me mobile phones or mobile services. That was until half an hour after signing up for a Lebara SIM via the latest MSE special deal, earlier today. Since then I have had a small stream of them.

So which, if ether, of these two is leaking customer's email addresses? Or is this just another of those pesky "coincidences"?

    I have used a unique email address with Lebara for several months and have never received any marketing emails to it.

    Maybe your other suspicion is the one :-)
  • I have two Lebara SIMs and have noticed no increase in Spam using the emails I signed up with.

    On my old Gmail account even there the Spam has dropped to a trickle and that is the only account I get any Spam on.
    Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid

    I used a separate email address when signing up to Lebara and have had no such spam emails whatsoever.
