Spammer

I have gotten two spam email messages that didn't block the other recipients and it read like a list of CFers.

The spam came from [email protected] and was pimping a site called [url=http://www.store-good.com]www.store-good.com[/url] and the sender's engrish sounded like a 419 scammer.  Don't know how to find his IP or any of that fancy stuff.  I am positive the email addy's were grabbed from here or CF.  I had my email set to private so I guess the site was hacked somehow.  Just thought I'd share.

I'm not sure how they'd farm this site, though it is possible.  I honestly think it is more likely that CF got hit as it is much higher profile and has 20K registered members vs. 1400+ here.  

It happens.  I know a lot of sites in the yachting world where people will not write out their e-mail addresses to keep the spiders from getting them.

I haven't looked at your posts here or over at CF but if you list your e-mail in your sig it could grab it there.
