I just checked my e-mail and got one as well. However, it was in my "spam" folder (I'm accessing my home e-mail from work) so I merely deleted it.

My mom got one. Exact same name and ever-thing.

But I didn't get one. Maybe they heard I eats trolls and spammers for protein snacks.

There are programs that work like search engines except they collect email addresses instead.

Looks like by having your email publicly listed on RFM it got picked up and you got spammed as a result.

I just blocked and deleted. Obviously spam. Susan I/S says it must have been from the old board, because nothing is showing on this one.

My smart-alecky jewish friend told me, that if I don't like Spam, I should buy a kosher computer LOL. I just love my new spam filter! I got so tired of those web-crawlers.
