How did they get my e-mailadress? I don't like it when a company sells my address!
Explanation please?

I doubt CCP would pass on your email address and/or other personal details. Perhaps they found you by some other means?

Given the nature of xfire, isn't it possible that one of your gaming friends gave your e-mail address to them?

I have never used X-fire. In fact for stuff I am not sure of I use a different adress, not my main adress. That is why I am so surprised.
Don't you think it is strange, a lot of talk about x-fire on the main Eve page, and a couple of days later spam from x-fire...

Maybe the same person that's in charge of making EVE run smoothly is also in charge of IT-security? That would explain how they got your personal info.

Maybe not so strange. Xfire is having a media push right now. So if they've had your regular address for some time, now would be the time they'd use it. That's also why you're seeing mention of them on EVE.

I'm guessing that it was something more like.
CCP: X-Fire here is a E-mail address that you can send to that will then forward you message onto our subscribers.
(thus CCP not giving out our details but X-Fire still being able to spam us)

Well, extra few bucks to CCP's account by selling their customer information. Sales people has made complicated calculations based on how much will ragequit over this and how many will not - so selling contacts is more profitable because people quitting < people gained by ads + ad money from xfire _________________

Damnit - I didnt get an Xfire email. Why was I left out. That does it, I am going to sue CCP for not sharing the wealth form ongoing sales of my email address to others and then hiding my spam mail......
And I did check my spam box and junk folders / filters and nothing except for ; - viagra emails - calis emails - same emails as above but in jpg / bitmap embedded int othe email - how to win a date with a Gallente tramp - How to win a new Navy Megathron by sending $10,000 to a Minnie slave in a nigerian system - Adult dating sites - How to lose 10 kilos in 10 minutes - How to lose 10 ships in 10 minutes in 0.0 sec space
And the list goes on...... but no Xfire email :(

At the bottom of the email there is a "You were added to the system December 10, 2007. For more information click here"
Mine link says, (note the description part below). And yes - I have been on XFire since before 2003 I'm pretty sure.

Not very constructive, I am a professional dev and I started with programming when I was 14. ( In machine language on my C64 which I still have in working condition) I just wondered how X-fire got my adress as I don't give it to everybody. If I do have to register with an email-adress I use a hotmail account which I hardly ever check...
