    For me this would not work. I have my own domain and give out like me-authy@example.com So if the email is sent to that I wound just know who leaked my email adress. Change email and ban everything to to the old adress. I never get spam this way.

      I’m torn between asking them to put up or shut up, and maybe just not confirming they got an address that still works.

        Pointless – you need to beep through 4 doors to get to my unit. Hell, the elevator won’t even take you to the right floor unless you can get a fob from one of my neighbours so that button will work. Stairs are locked to get ONTO a floor, so they’re only good as exit stairs without another key that only firemen get, and you can’t get in by rappelling onto my patio either, Ethan Hunt.

          Nobody wants to get into your apartment. This thread is about a digital scam. Have you been paying attention at all?

    I’ve gotten a few of these, but I just moved so it only included Google maps images of my old apartment, and I guess the data scrape didn’t get my phone number, so it included language like “I bet you wouldn’t like it if I called you at 0000000000, would you?”

    I’m savvy enough to laugh and delete, but I’m sure this would be very effective against some older Americans.

      Authy had a data leak that resulted in partial leak of phone numbers. God an email with this weak ass opener “I could’ve called 123xxxxx567 but I didn’t”

      bitch barely tried 🤣
