The spam you may have received, the ones selling B2B email addresses, seem to come from an endless number of fake companies, fake employees and anonymous domain names — but they often all lead back to the India-based “Data Champions / Sloan Marketing group”
Don’t forget that even the mailing addresses in the spam are sometimes fake. Or else the fake company address turns out to be just a rented mailbox, not an office at all!
