If you saved it and did not run it you should be fine. But running a virus scan on your entire computer with the latest updates wouldn't be a bad idea.

How and where did they get all of your email addresses? there must be a connection of all who got the email.

Well I never post my email in public and that email was one of those I rarely use with torrenting. But I remember that I registered to some tracker with it. Can't remember which one...

Well I think the mystery can be solved if you play the sherlock role and start digging old messages or checking all your trackers emails :D


Oh and about posting in public, that's a possibility but I doubt it after reading what mestari said

[Pelorus]

I got these mails too
