    The same way any spammer gets hold of email addresses. Solution? The delete button :)

    Yeah same here they had my exact name - methinks it may be to do with the recruitment site that was hacked a few weeks ago ?

    +1. Didn't get that exactly, was a different name. Deleted it. I know a recruitment site was hacked a few weeks ago, and I got one then too. Has it happened again? They also knew my name. Annoying, I hate getting spam like that.

    It was RecruitIreland that was hacked - I'm convinced these e-mails where thay have your name are linked to this.
