    Which one of you FUCKERS...

    ...sold my email address off to Nigerian scammers?

    When I started at this a few months ago I created an email address that I only use for affiliate programs (and this web site) and low and behold I started getting a large volume of Nigerian scam offers (and ONLY nigerian scam offers) in my SPAM folder. Has anyone heard of a sponsor selling off email addresses recently? Is this a common practice?

    (fwiw I don't really mind - I actually read them sometimes for lolz.)

              To be honest I was expecting worse ;-) It's probably just a 'rogue' employee who did it. Since it's ONLY nigerian scams I am assuming it was only sold off once.
