Mike I dont know how they got your email unless you made it public or put it in a post, then a spam bot (program that wanders through sights looking for names and emails) could have mined your email and then you can't get off the list. I get a lot of spam but nothing to do with FAOL.

I just got the same Helen email. Not sure how they got my email either. But they may just be phishing and using FAOL as bait. I sent Ladyfisher a PM anyway.

You guys go ahead and waste your time responding to Helen. I'll be busy pursuing the fortune I may have won in the Nigerian lottery!

Eric, plenty of people have my e-mail, but all the spam lands in my spam trap.

The specific reference to my profile at Flyanglersonline got this one through my trap.

Random spammers don?t reference websites like that. Also, how could a random spammer even know I was a member here?

Not really that earth-shaking, but if somebody is mining e-mails specifically connected with FAOL , then they must have access to the member list, and the e-mails.

Anyone care to split the 212 million British pounds I won in the British lottery?
If you have a hotmail account, you can report the fishing scams.

Sorry, I'd like to help you out, but I don't need it as several years ago I helped out a Nigerian Generals poor helpless widow get control of his offshore estate when He passed away and I was royally compensated in cash, diamonds, emeralds and huge rubys. It should arrive here anyday now as due to some mix-up they sent it on a really slow boat.
