Today i received an email from myled.com with my full name on it depite the fact I have never registered there. Do you know who is behind it? Because for me that is a serious issue.
They may have purchased your details as part of a database from another party.
Suggestion: always create a new “throwaway” email address and give that to each vendor.
’oogle “free email” to find places to get them — set it up to forward to a valid email, and note WHICH vendor you gave that particular throwaway.
When that address starts getting spammed, you’ll know either that vendor got hacked by someone who sold it, or the vendor directly sold your contact information to spammers.
Then cancel that email address so it bounces.
Oh, and remember — those “unsubscribe” buttons just confirm you’re a live sucker target.
I’ve tried directly emailing the contact address for several of the Chinese flashlight/stuff vendors that have been spamming me.
I ask them to quit sending me mail.
I get a confused email back about taking care of the problem, and the spam keeps coming.
Don’t be fooled again.
Myled is a horrible business
I received an email from them yesterday, saying that I ‘had been referred by a friend’…… I guess that translates to ‘traded some email databases’….
Friends they say? Yeah thats not what Id call them.
Wait… their friend, not yours. ![]()

The problem is not the mail. The problem is the name. They got your name, which means it was given to them by someone you bought from, because you have to put your real name for the address or billing when buying.
My opinion is that some people own more businesses and share data between them. Or simply, as stated years ago, all our data is traded constantly over the internet. From Fb, to others. Companies spy on you, then sell that data to others for target marketing.
Right, but the full name is not likely unique — google “your own name” as a quoted string and see how many other people in the online world share the same exact full name. Unless you’re Dilbert Rumplestiltskin Wackamamie III, there are probably half a dozen other people with the same name.
What’s unique is the email address — which gets sold with the name and the other information.
Use a unique throwaway email address each place you “register” and then — even given that they have the other information — the cheap people will just resell that. Yeah they’ll have your full name — and when the spam arrives to the throwaway email, you’ll know who sold it to the spammer.
The big players — ’oogle, NSA, Amazon, Doubleclick — all have their huge databases and can match up your name, address, credit card info, buying pattern, typing style, etc.etc.etc.etc.dammit.etc. for sure.
You do what you can.
Deleted my shipping address from account after reading OP. MyLED :Sp
You can use the Maskme/Blur Extension to create dummy email addresses that forward to your email address so if they start spamming you, you can just block that address. If you use gmail you can just do youremail+whatevershadywebsite@gmail.com if you suspect they may sell your info to spammers and then check your spam folder to see if any came from that address.
I checked out myled a while ago after a guy I watch on youtube got a couple lights from them to review and iirc they seemed pretty overpriced.
