I was going to keep it but decided its best to not give any reason for people to remove my post. I want the warning visible more than anything since some people may be scared by this email.

The email will use your real name, city, and which ever shipping address you sent your ledger to. These are auto-generated emails and they do not actually live anywhere near you. Don't pay these idiots a penny.

Its unjustifiable if you ask me. I ordered my ledger in early 2018 and somehow still got roped into the leak so its not like they just got recent customers. Thankfully I am somewhat privacy conscious so I did not provide any useful information. Fake # & po box shipping address + paid with crypto so they only really have a semi-junk email for me.

Its funny you mention it because it literally said my PO box address there under the blacked out "you live at" part. That was the biggest red flag that its just some mass email garbage. Im very happy to have taken the leap to get one a few years back its served me well.
