I got this e-mail today

-------------------------

Hi  xxx+bitads@gmail.com,

 Receive 0.02 BTC for free at CampBX! Register a new account or log in into existing one and enter this code 245405 here!


 

If you have any questions, please contact us at https://CampBX.com/contact.php or

Welcome to CampBX!
     - CampBX Team

-------------------------

In the beginning, they link directly to http://www.flashupdatepageversion.com/index.php which is a website that tells you to download a .exe file. Doesn't seem very legit. Also, as you might've noticed, I added "+bitads" to my gmail address when registering at bitads, so that's where they got my e-mail. Anyone else got the same e-mail?

Yes same email;

Quote
Return-Path: <nouserreply@campbx.com>
Received: from server.premiermedicaltransport.com ([162.144.55.39])

Marked as free CampBX coins, redirect to flashupdate malware

I also used unique Tag which marks BitAds as the culprit of leaking my email. either they have been compromised or are knowingly selling this data
to hackers.
