Msn:[email protected] I went to the website it looks like some wholesaler from China. The point is they invaded my email account. Somehow they got access to my email and used it for their own marketing use. I would be very warry of doing business with them. Also change your MAIN email account password often

The same thing happened to me on 28th may, with the same method.

I improved the security of my gmail account (me too !) and I contacted each who received this mail to say them to delete this.

+1, if you check in the IP details, you should see a connection from an IP in China. Google says it's just a virus, or users giving out their password; and recommend you change your password and set up the 2-step verification. It's obvious that their system has been compromised ; my guess is that our accounts were not hacked, but rather they managed to spoof outgoing mail onto google's servers.
