A few minutes ago I posted on BITOG about a 2007 Buick Lucerne for sale in Tubac, AZ.
Three minutes later I received an e-mail to my google account, with my name, from Bell Ford in Phoenix, AZ wanting to buy my car. I have never bought/sold/inquired anything ever at Bell Ford.
The browser I am using for BITOG is MSFT Edge, and I have MSFT account for MSFT Office, I am logged out of Office I believe.
The only thing I can think of is MSFT is monitoring me, saw my post about the Buick for sale on BITOG, and MSFT sold my info to Bell Ford as soon as I posted on BITOG- lightening fast. If my speculation is accurate, I assume MSFT charged Bell Ford a nice ransom for my information, not just a few pennies.
All speculation.
Here is the e-mail (there were two hyperlinks in the email which I deleted, and if I click on them, my actual legal name came up, not the name I am known by).
