Spam from Shining Bikes!

I got a spam email this morning, some diet plan link, which I naturally did not open. But the source appeared to be (and the headers confirmed) it was Robert Vaughters, famous (notorious?) owner of Shining Bikes/5600 Bikes.

Of course these things usually come from someone's email address that has been hacked, or spoofed. But he has seemed to be such a shady character I am not so sure in this case.

I have no idea how he might have gotten my email info, certainly I never emailed him or his crappy shop.

Anyone else get this?

I didn't get it ; but the (very ) little I know about spambots is that they generate an email for (pretty much) every combination of letters, numbers, etc. in an email address; and the emails to non-existing accounts just bounce back. I'm sure the geeks can correct me here.
