Hi Mods,
I d'ont know if this is a regular occurence, but will report it anyway. I just receieved a Sales-pitch e-mail, probably from USA, as the offer was in Dollars. The E-mail was sent to my inbox, but calling me by my RedCafe log in name ...Stuff. This is the only place I use this log-on name.
No harm done, just said I would draw it to your attention. Their web address is www.your-free-satellite.com ( I did not even bother to log into it ! )
Cheers,
Stuff the goat.
 
My guess would be that www.your-free-satellite.com are part of Google AD Words - meaning that the website is shown on The Caf through the Goggle ads.

And then they use those spambots which searches through millions of forums like this and gather information - the e-mail address and the username in order to make it a bit personal.
Niall could try and filter the website out using the Competitive Ad Filter though I doubt it'd work seeing as the crawlers/bots have already located the site.
 
did you post your email address on the boards at any point?
