I was looking at my Gmail account spam folder and noticed that I received a email from Telus, this is normal as my Gmail account is on file with them and I get Bandwidth usage notices from them. How ever this one was titled Notice of spam incident address. At first I thought it was fake, but to check I went to Google and checked my IP, which to my surprise came back as a IPv6 address. So I hit another website www.iplocation.net which returns the same IP as in the email, so it appears its not a fake. However my Wifi Access point is secured, tho not with the worlds strongest password, but not one on the list top 1000 passwords. I only have two computers and pretty sure there is no Spam bots running on them.
My Question is
1. Anyone else received these types of Email Spam notices, should I call telus about it?
2. With the move to IPv6 any chance that IPv4 address is being shared or moved around right now?
3. Any chance Telus screwed up sending me that email?
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
