Green’s Toyota of Lexington: Just *Where* Did That Email Address Come From?

Green’s Toyota of Lexington, a Kentucky automobile dealer with an online sales portal, is sending bulk email advertisements to an email address that was closed in 2007. That email address had not previously received email from this company after it was re-enabled in 2009. Either Green’s Toyota has emailed a very old list that was left uncontacted for years, or Green’s Toyota purchased a list. The ESP is Constant Contact.
