Email Addresses and Your Real Name???

[Nottawayfer]

I have an email address I use strictly for internet dating sites. When I signed up for this yahoo account, I did not put in my real name or my real information. Today, I open up my bulk email folder and see an email addressed to my full name on this "anonymous" email address, and the email has extremely pornographic pictures on it!!!!

Could it be that the internet dating sites sold my name and "anonymous" email address to somone else? This is the only thing I can think of.

WN - that's probably EXACTLY what happened!

Although not a dating site, Orbitz was hacked recently by spammers somehow. I don't know the details but it's a fairly common occurance. I have one credit card that I use for online stuff, as well as one specific email address I use for the internet.

I'd be much more concerned if you gave that dating site a credit card number.
