Very strange incident... email hacking?
Today he confirmed his order and added as a "by the way"...
"Do you know "so-and-so"? Is he a partner of yours?"
"So and so" happens to be a competitor and, in my opinion, a scamster. He sells remedies not only in my niche but for about every ailment you can imagine.
So I asked my customer for more details and he forwarded me the email he received from "so and so" at "EXACTLY THE SAME TIME AS MY FIRST EMAIL!"
UPDATE: After looking at the address more closely it turns out he's using the same mail forwarding network as I use. The address was identical except for the box number and at first look I thought it was mine.
Nevertheless, the timing of the incident makes me awful suspicious that somehow he tapped into my email.
Just as alarming is the fact that his spam email has my mailing address at the bottom!
The email from so-and-so was a standard pitch with a link to his sales page.
This is obviously spamming but the timing and the (possibly accidental) use of my mailing address seems to indicate a possible hacking of my email.
Can anyone think of any other explanation? And what would you recommend doing in this situation? I want to take the hardest line possible.
UPDATE: On closer look at the address it turns out he uses the same mail facility as I do. The addresses are identical expect for the box number and at first look I thought it was mine.
