It seems clear that Stripe emailed the OP to undermine the competitor. They are the only ones to have his e-mail adress.

  Or someone within Stripe, with access to the user-sign up list, is an affiliate with BlueSnap and is trying to make some extra money on the side. An evil thought, and I'm fairly sure it isn't the case, but totally possible.

    Sounds like a good way to end up in jail.

      Jail? For what? Currently I have access to personal information for thousands of customers for the company I work for. I've never signed an employment contract regarding this data. There's nothing legally stopping me from publishing all of that data, or selling it on the side. At least not to my knowledge. Just think... there's at least one of someone like me at every service you use on the Internet.

        You might want to revisit your employment agreement.

        I would hope that is not true in the USA, but maybe you are right (depending on what you mean - I doubt you can publish SSNs and claim you had the right to do so). I seriously doubt that publishing people's private info you got from your company would be legal based on European privacy laws (regardless what your company chose to have you personally sign). I imagine going to jail is unlikely in any case. And I doubt it would be connected to your employment contract in any case: jail would likely be the result of some criminal offense you committed against the state, not against your employer.

  Definitely not. That would be dishonest and stupid.
