Woke up to rather personalized
#spam in my mailbox.So #socialdb is looking for influencers.

And yes that is sender SPF authorized and passed DKIM.

It's also riddled with tracking.
Be influenced: Block[ed] this shit.
How? I guess it webfingered my blog, which is tied to my indieweb profile referenced here. It didn't pick up on the AP profile of the blog but used it's mail address.

@bekopharm Got the same thing; came searching the Fediverse to see if it's pure spam or an authentic platform doing some misguided marketing. Looks like it's the former. Ironic that they don't even have a presence on Mastodon…

I think I know how they're getting the email addresses, it isn't very accurate.
They spammed my website's email address, but they used someone totally different's name in the actual email. When I looked up the person's account on Mastodon, the person had put a link to my website in their profile as a recommendation. SocialDB saw the link to my site in the person's profile, and assumed the website belonged to them, so they tried to spam the person using my email address.
