FictionCity.NET: Social Network Spamming Purchased Lists?
FictionCity.net, a social networking site for artists, is sending bulk email to a personal email address of mine that has been closed for over nine years, via ESP SendGrid. Since this email address has belonged to me since it was created and never existed prior to that, I *know* that I never requested this email or any email from this site. Somebody (probably not FictionCity.net) scraped the web or old Usenet archives to find this email address. FictionCity.net almost certainly purchased a list.
