Got reply from Pixmania via Twitter

I've just received a reply to a Tweet I sent them yesterday:

"I can assure you that NO data base details have been sold to NO one. We're working on sorting out this matter as fast as we can."

Received same email - contains my full name - what other info do they have?!

Yes, I received the same email. To an email address I have only ever used with pixmania, from whom I last bought something 6 years ago!! I don't normally get emails from pixmania, having opted out of all their mailings when I first signed up. Like you, the email has my full name(!!) - what other info do they have?!

At the bottom of the email it states, "ASTRO Consulting has obtained your contact details from public internet sources." - errrm, I don't think so!
