The emails are interesting... It would be possible to find out who it is by just looking at the email. I wanted to attempt to trace their IP address but sadly I didn't get one of those emails.
I don't think it's hacking the iPandanda database though, if that had happened a LOT of people would have got the emails. It seems like it has been aimed at a few people who would actually be upset by this. If you are one of those people, try to remember if you have given the email address to anyone on PD!
I'm thinking as I'm typing this. Who talks like this? Who says newbie instead of noob? Who has terrible grammar?
If I work it out, I will tell you guys.

SCAM ALERT!
False emails.
Users from iPandanda have been receiving spam, scam emails; telling people they're a moderator, or such, on iPandanda, this is not true (sorry!). These emails are potentially dangerous, and we suggest YOU DO NOT CLICK ANY LINK IN THE EMAIL. We, iPandanda, do not email you, and have never emailed you since day one. Report any email from someone pretending to be an iPandanda official here: http://ipandanda.net/app/report/email.html.
beta.ipandanda@gmail.com IS NOT OUR EMAIL ADDRESS.
Here is an example of the fake email sent to one of our users:
So far, we are not sure how they are obtaining user information; however, we can certify that none of your information has been stolen, given away, or sold from our database. - All your details remain secure, encrypted, and secret.
Again, we would like to stress that anything said in these emails are lies, incorrect, and are currently being treated as hack attempts on users. Do not click any link in the emails.
Fake facebook fan page.
We have recently discovered a facebook page, pretending to be iPandanda administrators. https://www.facebook.com/pages/iPandanda/244187702374946?fref=ts. This page is not owned, moderator, or created by any iPandanda staff member, and all the information on it is false, and should be ignored. For proper, reliable information use blog.ipandanda.net, http://sherman98pandanda.wordpress.com, http://pandanadafire.wordpress.com/ (iPandanda Fire), or any other awesome iPandanda blog!
An investigation into the Facebook page, and emails is currently in-progress. The users responsible will be banned.
- Thanks!
