I got an email from Google today warning me that my GMail account had been dormant and was at risk of being closed. I had never actually used the account which I opened last year in August. I logged into the account and saw the "Welcome" message from GMail (still unread) in my In-box. Funny thing. In the "Spam" box however were 27 emails trying to sell me "Top Quality Software".

Now if my user name for this GMail account was an actual name or even an actual word I could see a spammer trying to get something through to me with a dictionary attack on GMail, however the address is a one word combination of a two letter abbriviation attached to a real word.

Very odd that "they" found that account.
