Dating Russians

I never gave my email address to a dating site. Why do I get Russian dating scam emails?
I’ve never even visited a dating site. What are some other ways they can get my email address?
Did you ever open one of these messgaes? If so, thats why you are getting more. These companies often just send out random messages to every email combination a@yahoo.com, ab@yahoo.com, 1ab@yahoo.com, etc, etc to tens of millions of random addresses. If you open the message it sends a receipt back to the sender that your address is live, and your address will be sold to other companies. Every time you open these messages, they will send you more. The only way to lessen them is to make sure your spam guard is on, not open emials from people you dont know, and mark them as spam and delete without opening. But they can also get your address if you signed up for any website, mailing list, etc that sells your details, as many sites do
