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 to lugnet, only brickbay, and another I [used to] use on lugnet
wasn't sent to [I think].

I've emailed brickbay's admin area last night, and am waiting for a response.

expressed an interest in these promo sets.

counts as bona fide spam.

It's not a big deal, but I thought other people might like to know what is
happening.
