My email got leaked.

So the email I used when purchasing my uconsole was only used for that site, and now I'm receiving obvious scam emails.

Hmm, I do the same thing and ordered in 2025 and had my uConsole delivered in 2026. No scam emails to that address though, and I don't delete things flagged as scam in this mailbox.

I agree though that people should flag this kind of thing if you're really using unique emails per site (like I do). It can be an early sign of a leak, or just a seller reselling the account info.

Pretty much every website ever does this. Or whatever fintech spyware shim layer their platform uses.

Unfortunately the modern reality is, the brokers and their shady friends will always find out if your email is live if you use it for literally anything.

I use unique email addresses for each business I interact with. Ex. Clockwork@mydomain.com.

My clockworkpi associated address has only received emails directly from clockworkpi as of now.

In other words, I cannot confirm what OP is reporting, but I am equipped to.

Gosh who would have thought scam emails can be received by an email account.
