Massive influx of spam post beta application

Do many of you register on other game forums?

I sometimes get these emails on an account that I have used to register on some other FFXIV related sites... often for games I have never even played.

I kind of doubt that it has anything to do with the real beta application or SE getting hacked. More likely, scammers are aware of the beta launch and building interest around ARR, and are trying to take advantage of it.

Maybe it has something to do with Facebook or other social network where you joined the community of FFXIV?? Are you sure that your e-mail is private? Using same email to other MMO sites would be a problem. That's why I have several different emails. One for bills, one for FB, and one for gaming.

Didnt join anything.
I assume its like the other person said, SE got hacked.
No way 1/2 the forumers got the same email, if the only real connection between us is that SE has our email

If SE got hacked then why didn't I get spams??
