    Hi Pete,

    I would investigate this offer a little more, before sending any money. Perhaps you could ask for a sample for these emails addresses? Also are these addresses 'legal'? Has he collected them on his own, and how?

    Best Regards,
    Boris

    I just received the same email minutes ago, and I searched right away here if anyone else has received it.

    I'm just wondering how this guy who sent the email was able to gather the emails of the members here.

    funny how others came up with silly ideas just to earn easy bucks...

    couldn't they just crucify those kind of people now-a-days? :D

    I got an email as well.. to my special DP address (dp @ domain.com); so they most definitely got them from this forum.. I haven't posted it publicly anywhere; only used it for registration.. and I just looked in my profile. It's hidden. So I'm not sure where they got the list from unless they bought it from the site?

    With new email system in place, I do not believe members can harvest other's email addresses from profiles. Now if you publically post your e-mail address in a thread that is another matter.

    About a week ago you could find the email address to anyone just by clicking "Send a message via email to xxxxx". This guy just collected alot of them before the new system came in place.

    It's recently been changed to a form format due to all the spamming people have recieved.
