Spam

Hi. Here is another day in the life of me.
A couple of months ago I made a new email for several reasons (I will not list all of them). One of these reasons was spam.
With my new email, i got just as much spam as my other email. I also got a bonus: random people added me on messenger and some dumbass had signed up with my account on google accounts (a stated in my last post).
Now today i happened to come across a spam which i thought was an actual email from hotmail. This email was very cleverly done and the impatient and unwary would have actually signed in after clicking the link.

As it happened, I did click on the link... it took me to a good looking page. I clicked the link again later to give my friend a screenshot of how good the page was made. Unfortunately this time it did not take me to a fake sign in page. However, it did take me back to my email inbox. I now pray that the guy hasn't taken my account and hope its not going to get fucked up.
Whats annoying is that i get a fucking ton of these emails. Luckily most of them go in the junk section so I do not need to delete them all. I'm so used to getting these weird spam emails that I almost deleted a physics powerpoint my science teacher sent me once.
What I wonder is how the fuck these sneaky bastards know my email, add me and send all this weird shit to me.
