And I’ve just had another one, this time to a female name. I thought to get spam you had to be engaged in an online activity that links it somehow?

Yikes! How does that happen? My online shopping is mainstream M&S, Sainsburys etc. If it’s something I’ve inadvertently done, it’s still odd that the email was sent to my husband’s name not mine? I do have trust issues, but I’m trying to keep it all ‘innocent until proven guilty’.

Ask him ?

It's probably spam.

Maybe the email address is in the dark net and sold for spam campaigns?

I received an email tonight from a dating website for mature age group. It was addressed to my husband, first name only., but my email address. I know I haven’t been looking. at any dating websites, and if he has then why didn’t the message go to his emails? We don’t have a joint email address. Please can anyone with more internet know-how than me explain it. I didn’t think anything of it at first, but it’s starting to shake my trust in him.
