Thread Starter 
Not making any accusations but I've noticed that since joining this forum I get a lot of Chinese and computer related spam emails in my inbox. Bit annoying because I stupidly used my proper email address and not usual crappy email I use for signing up to forums. Anyone else noticed this?

Not at all. I wanted to use myYahoo account and they wouldn't let me. I haven't received spam for months on the account I did use.

nope, i have deffinately never gotten any. The forums are run by the people from PCTorque, which is a legit company. I can almost guarantee they wouldnt do anything like that.

if you've ever posted your email address in a post there is always the possibility of bots pulling it from there.

no problem here. I rarely get any spam on the email I signed up here with. well shoot, I forget which one. The univ or aol. Hmmm get about 1 spam a week, so I doubt that I get more from joining here.

although I have noticed a rise and fall in the number of junk in my hotmail acct. It's been doing that for several years now.

I just join this forum for few weeks and I have yet receive 1 junk Chinese email about sex link. I am sure the email leak is from this forum.

I have never use the company email account. Just because I can't use my Yahoo email account so I have to use my office's email address. The office email address I just got it about a month ago which only be use within office only. The email account is only be use when my boss communiate with me remotely. No body else I know has my office email address information. I was so angry because the company monitor my email activities..... I just hope they wont think I visit those sex link websites.

BTW, I start my new job about 40 days ago. I have send out any mail from that email account.

Oh well, I like this forum. So.......
