There are many ways a spammer can get your email address. You may have provided it to a third party and they in turn sold it. Someone you emailed may have then forwarded your address/message to another person or entity who collected it. Spammers used a "dictionary program" to generate different combinations of letters to find an active email address. You have an address that belonged to a previous customer that also got spam.
