New Re: Did you give Walgreen's your email?
As I recall it isn't even searchable via the Yahoo search. I recently tried to find you via the Yahoo People search and didn't come up with anything.


Nope, it isn't searchable, but my junk address is on Yahoo. Yahoo doesn't have my real name and address, I don't think, unless you had to give it to them to get a free account, and I don't think you did.

Unless Yahoo sold your info and then Walgreens sold your info to the same Spammers and they matched your name with the email address. How else could they get your email address?


When my junk mail address is spammed, it's usually a case of a single word and them sending mail to every ISP with that word.

John made an interesting observation though, we don't really think it's about Walgreens. Because why would Walgreens sell their info on you to a competitor, it makes so sense. They would lose business.

John has a valid point. Walgreens would lose business if they sold info to competitors who also sell perscription drugs. It just doesn't make sense.
