Hi all, Just a note on some spam I was hit with today from Wee Lean in Malaysia, who is trying to sell Tour de France promo sets (1196-9). I don't trade Lego outside Australia, and I can only imagine that my email address was extracted from Lugnet. I'm not exactly sure why I was targeted either, since I've never expressed an interest in these promo sets. See also this threadlet: http://news.lugnet.com/db/scans/?n=130&t=i&v=a The email I received was definitely commercial solicitation, and in my book it counts as bona fide spam. It's not a big deal, but I thought other people might like to know what is happening. regards, DaveL

G'day, The same thing happened to me, although I believe that the addresses were harvested from brickbay [the "seller" had just signed up there on the 12th] as one email address it was sent to [I got it at 2 email addresses] isn't used in relation (...)
