So i wonder, if anyone can answer to me, how goldspamming webpages can have my original email, when i NEVER visited such sites or anything like that?

And this is at the same time a warning: Make sure you can see more then the header of an email, as they cover themselves as ESO support team and give a redirected link to the forums.

    most likely you got an email notification by the forum software(not by the gold spammer) that you got a private message on the forums (which was froma gold spammer)

    It looks like you are correct.

    Also, it may be possible that there is a "mole" in one of your guilds (specifically the "store" guilds) and your @[name] is also one of your email tags. (happened to me when I first started and I used the userID like that. /facepalm-self

    Example:

    [name]@ yahoo or gmail, etc.

    Might be wise to change your user login ID in your account settings to something that is not associated with any of your emails an any way shape or form
