That seems really, really shady. I wonder if they sold off their database of customers (I would guess yes; what else are you going to do with all those users if you wanted to try and squeeze more money out of a dead horse?).

One thing though:

Are you sure? Seems unlikely Homejoy would actually store that information versus a PCI-compliant system like Authorize.net in which case perhaps they simply passed the credentials over which could show the last 4 digits of your credit card.

You are right that I am not 100% sure about my credit card information, they could have my credit card info in Stripe or another system like that. However, my home address and my email are not stored securely.
