I get e-mail from there too, but in this case he is a lawyer wanting me to sign documents because someone with my last name died and has an estate worth millions. You have to give them A for effort!

Yep, I can just envision the next Archer vs Strickland match... Earl walks in with Tarsan shorts on with white powder on his face and his cue has feathers attached to it! I think Archer would forfiet and get the heck out of there! I know I would. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

They get my e-mail addess from E-Bay. If I'm selling something they ask "will you ship overseas?" and if you respond they get your e-mail address and contact you a few weeks later.

You can now block your e-mail address on e-bay and i recommend this when communicating with zero or low feedback users.
