Anyone get this spam type message in their email? It says they found me on this forum!

I got a message from this person named Dora Kanto, email address is [email protected] and it said this:

 

 

HELLO MY DEAR.NICE MEETING YOU. HOW ARE YOU OVER THERE IN YOUR COUNTRY HOPE FINE.GLORY BE TO GOD. MY NAME IS MISS DORA. I SAW YOUR POST WHEN I WAS BROWSING IN (www.bestdestinationwedding.com) AND I AM INTERESTED IN MAKING FRIEND WITH YOU.FOR MORE INTRODUCTION PLEASE REPLY ME THROUGH MY EMAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL SEND YOU MY PICTURE FOR YOU TO KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE. HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU WITH LOTS OF LOVE.

Has anyone else gotten an email like this? To the forum host, how did my email address get known to this person?

I got this too. I did post my email on a ASP Riveria Maya forum about a week ago.

I don't think I have posted my email anywhere, except for when I signed up for the forum, which is not public. So I am a little concerned because I don't want any hackers to get my email address and start harassing everyone in my address book!

i got it also but my email is posted on the forum...

 

so far, it has been sent to people with their emails posted but i don't know what email yours was sent to so i can't check on it...

[SonyaR]

Yeah, I got it too in my spam. I hate people who do this.

[TammyWright]

its mainly from people who post asking for downloads/pics to be emailed to them or those in the buy/sell forum...instead of using the pm system, they will post their email address.

not true...you did post your email in one of the buy/sell threads.

Yes i got this also.... deleted it as soon as i read it.

[cwelch]

Yes i recieved this too.. like everyday now it seams!! sooo annoying. I do post my email address though in the buy/sell forum for people to contact me since i check my personal email more often

if you post your email on the internet, you can't be too surprised to get people stealing it!  instead i'd suggest just setting your profile to get an email when you get a PM, that way you don't have to post your email address on the forum..
