Yup. I'm getting all sorts of weirdo bitcoin carding related emails too. So be it. It's clearly from the hack back in the day.

It's a junk email address anyway but it's so offensive that I won't be able to open another of a similar ilk so I'll be rather sad if it has to be retired.

I dont, in fact the only spam I get is from BTC servics that I signed up for and didnt bother to uncheck the "get info by mail" box.

Got my first ponzi spam today.

This comes up quite often and it is weird that some people receive bad emails and others don't. I can say I have never received phishing or carding emails on my bitcointalk email...

same here: carding emails,had to mark them through filters
guess the btalk email database is available for sale somewhere Sad
lesson learned- use  different emails when subscribing to forums or boards

Check (tor) dark markets and you will see some users claiming to have the database of bitcointalk users after that hack happened...
It's not easy for admins or moderators to fight such a big database hack after which members have come up hard on them asking for their accounts to be reinstated...

i only got email from blockchain which said to make an investment with them and they said something like make your first investment for 0.5 bitcoin and in the next days, you can get 10 bitcoin.

but i directly remove this email and i don't want to see it anymore.

Actually this  situation  is  very  common  on  which there are  lots  of carding emails and   you really dont  know  whats the  f*ckin   happening.  I do recieve that  kind  of  email from  blockchain   which  directly  puts  up  into  my  inbox and  not  on  the spam  folder it somehow  questions  my mind  if this  legit  one or  not  but  i detected already that  it is  a  scam attempt if  you are  thinking for easy  money  for sure you would  fall  into these kind of traps.

As much as I like and support coinbase, I think the chances are better that you are receiving carding emails because of your coinbase account.

I have not received any carding related emails to any of my email addresses associated with any of my bitcointalk accounts. I have received many email solicitations to what appears to be offers associated with carding (or is outright scams) to the email address that is associated with my coinbase account. Such email address has never had anything remotely associated with any carding related websites/ect.

BitcoinTalk got hacked late last year which caused information (such as emails and password hashes) to be leaked into the public.
BitcoinTalk didn't sell your data.

Dear bitcointalk,
thanks for selling my data to scammers

I got carding spam to an email I opened and using only here

If you didn't sell it, thanks for not patching your forum and let my data be leaked
