e-mail databases among which are BitcoinTalk members' e-mails

The question being posed here is how did you obtain BTCTalk e-mails? I don't have a problem with selling e-mail lists, some members might find it unethical, I don't as I believe it happens all the time in the corporate circles and you can always place them in spam if you so care. I'm just particularly interested in the one you listed. Also, feel free to comment on the threat you made and the "simulation of social activity". Do you have more accounts with which you can simulate that activity here?  Roll Eyes

EDIT: After consideration, I have chosen to request deletion of my sales thread of the above. Seems I may be on a gray line and I'd like to avoid it. I haven't made any sales(luckily) and thus can't be linked to any SPAM mail campaign, which could have been a problem if someone bought and misused the list. I have a marketing background and thus saw nothing wrong with the issue. E-mail selling and "renting" how it's called is a grey area in some states while totally legal in other. Because of that, I chose to close this as I don't want to encourage behavior that may be on the gray side.

So this user is selling "simulation of social activity on Bitcointalk" on this thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.45554168

After I told him I am reporting his post and that this is highly frowned upon, he decided to send me a message threatening me, see for yourselves:



I find it worrying that such users exist here. Ask for a mod to delete your thread, apologize, do something to redeem yourself. Instead, he chooses to threaten me through PM. I hope he gets what's coming to him.

It appears he is also selling e-mail databases among which are BitcoinTalk members' e-mails. Interesting. Please have a look at this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/selling-email-databases-of-regulars-of-crypto-investors-4987679

and look at this screenshot of his "sample":
