Since I bought this theme I get spam from people located in India trying to sell me stuff I’m not interested in. Did I sign up for this somewhere? My site isn’t even active yet. Today alone I have received 3 mails from various people. Other who have tried this as well?
Hi @denialed,

Best regards,
Shufflehound team- Well, it started after I bought the theme. Also it’s not on my site. It’s through my email, that I used when buying the theme. It’s not listed on my website.
I don’t how your email got leaked but you can ask this from where you have purchased this theme that is on envato themeforest marketplace.
We just sell our theme there but don’t have any control on them. We don’t even get your email id from them.
