All email service is sold whether you know it or not(aol,gmail,bell south,etc..)The only way to slow it down is with your own email account.Even then your email can be captured in any number of ways.Everytime you interact on the internet you give little bits of info.

Dean how rude for an Auction House we may even acknowledge as good guys to do such a thing. They are desperate skimming the bottom of barrels to make a sale!! Sorry it happened.

I was told long ago "Dont put it in writing unless you want to see it again." This goes in spades for e-mails, tweets, facebook postings, etc. I cancelled my facebook account a year ago (although I made very, very little use of it) when I got a popup ad asking if I wanted to buy some more ammo from Academy Sports. Aargh!

My son wanted me to add an app the other day so every time I bought gas at certain stations he would get a refund and so would I.

The app wanted access to my address book, location, photos, camera, essentially everything on my phone. I told my son I would not add it. He said there was nothing wrong with adding it. I guess people never learn not to share info with the whole world. Even a weather app rated the best one wanted the same info. Nothing is private anymore. One of the reasons I have never had a Farcebook account.

When you pay for your email service, you're paying for a product. If your email service is free, you are the product.

The internet is the new Wild West and sadly the only way to assure any semblance of privacy is to not be connected. We give classes to Law Enforcement on Cyber Security and the "Dark Web". Very scary stuff.

I was looking at a banjo on the web the other day; never signed in, gave my name or email address, etc. Later that day I get an email from the site saying "are you interested in _______________ and what can we help you with? Man, the days of anonymity are over!
