Pretty funny that I saved my draft of a similar thought process at the
same time yours hit the list. I was just checking my email archives
for those very same SPAM emails before sending.
It might or might not be about Debian-User in that case. The ones I'm
receiving are strangely targeted. They're being addressed to my first
name at AOL. I had a-sumed they were from a particular genre of
(unreciprocated) followers out on social media, but maybe they came
from us posting on here, too. That was a topic on here a while back.
That first name at AOL occasionally changes to something other than my
own. On too regular an occasion, it becomes a relative's first name,
instead. That potentially hints at some heavy duty online stalking
being perped in the name of obvious phishing.
Please be safe out there.....
