I just received an offer from Group OZK in the Ozarks to open an account and deal with them.

Anyone else get that message.

High Interest Savings Canada is the only Money Site I belong to and I can't understand how they got my email address.

I've never heard of it but it sounds fishy to me. Spam?
I wouldn't touch it or click on anything unless you have good reason to believe it's legit.

I've solved it and as you said, it is spam.
No harm done to me.

In case there is any concern, this site most definitely does not sell user information to anybody.

....proving that correlation does not imply causation.....or perhaps more precisely, coincidence does not imply causationsf-laugh

If you happen to have used that email address with others, a possible explanation might be one of those correspondents sold your contact info, or perhaps even more likely, the system of one of your correspondents was compromised and the contact list was hacked....can't exclude the possibility that the email service itself could have been compromised...as Yahoo has been in the past, along with others. These are just a few scenarios of how your email address could have gotten into the wrong hands. Think about hacks like Desjardins, Trans Union, Target, Home Depot, Walmart Photos...list goes on and on.
