The list is long and I'm on my phone. Several were from breaches like Adobe.com and Park mobile. MyFitnessPal. Cadillac (used email for a free brochure).
I think the real worst offender is LinkedIn. I put one email on my resume and a different one for logging in to LinkedIn that should not be public. And yet I get direct recruiter spam there all the time.
- ascar 5y agoLinkedin in forwards a recruiter messages to your email. Are you really getting emails without a message in your linkedin inbox? I get quite some recruiter spam, but always via a LinkedIn message.
- zdragnar 5y agoNot the person you responded to, but I've had the same problem. Recruiters will email me directly with shallow compliments on my LinkedIn profile. It might not be directly through LinkedIn- about once a year, random recruiters will call my personal cell phone, even though I have no how they possibly got it. By now it's on a list that gets sold, I'm sure, but where it started, I'm clueless. The most infuriating are recruiters who cold-email me at my work email. There's something about contacting me via my official capacity as an employee to take a different job that really gets under my skin. Might just be that I am very, very much not a "bring your whole self to work" kind of guy and more of a "keep a hard divide between my work and personal life" one.
