(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I created this email account just for playstation network and never logged in after that. I've never used to anything else or logged on that one like forever and i'd just check it recently, it has a lot of spam mails!! does playstation pass our email to spammers?!

Possibly if you don't select for them to do otherwise. I remember there being a box to tick during the process of signing up for something like not giving you e-mails about offers etc.

The starting letter of the email account along with length, is a factor in spam emails.
A number of studies have been done which mean certain letters make you 40% more likely to get spam mail.

All to do with how spammers work.

What email provider are you using? Gmail mostly blocks all the spam, Yahoo doesn't block mostly the spams :(

Just change your spam filter that'll cut down on most of it. :p
