I also wonder why the scamerr knows my email even though I didn't publish it.
Getting one's email is easy, there are various hacking where user data is leaked (usually contain name, username, email, password and hashed password) and many websites who sold users data.

Not exactly hacking but there are some extensions now in google chrome that can view emails and names. More likely by passing the information.

Check https://haveibeenpwned.com/. It doesn't happen often, but when it happens. hundred to million user information are compromised.
