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.

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 (...)
