Hi everyone,
Don't know if this is the right place to talk about this so sorry in advance.
Recently I have been getting some dodgy emails in my G-mail account all pertaining to winning a free iphone8 or whatever. I don't even own an iPhone. Obviously I haven't opened the mail and of course, I know these are some kind of phishing or some other malicious activity.
I haven't gotten all that many messages like this. Maybe five or six in the past month or so. Some through my Google plus account via google plus's version of messenger I suppose. But the most recent mail seems to be an actual email as it is in my primary inbox rather than social.
From the title it says I have been made a moderator on youtube(suspicion intensifies)
So basically I would like to know if:
A) If anyone else is receiving messages of this nature through their Gmail accounts/google plus
B) Finding out how someone has been able to acquire my email without my permission and how I can stop this from happening in future.
Thanks in advance.
