SPAM: Last Backer

We recently received unsolicited email from Last Backer as a result of being part of an Indiegogo campaign. It’s unclear if Indiegogo or the campaign owner leaked the details.

From: Last Backer – news@lastbacker.com

Last Backer is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Kickstarter, PBC

In other words, they obtain your email address without your consent from an Indiegogo or Kickstater campaign you backed and send you SPAM.

Same thing happened to me from a Kickstarter campaign. At the bottom of the email, I previewed the Update Profile link (next to Unsubscribe); it had a field labeled “LB Source” which was pre-filled with “backer_database” and a field labeled “Source” which was pre-filled with the name of the Kickstarter campaign I backed. There were also fields for email, first name, last name, and mobile number (the last being the only one not already filled with my info).
