Hello there!

I was surfing the web and found your email address on www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t233603.html.

I found you are looking for a gmail invite.

If you still need it, I would sell it to you.

You can pay on paypal. I want USD 8 for it.

If you want it, please send me an reply to eladoaccount.com

John

Yeh, its a spam bot reading neowin for address's and Gmail.

Its not neowins fault, as if you tour address on another site it would happen also.

I can only suggest you find your email address on Neowin and remove it.

Next time you post your email in a thread, use this form:

Any person can easily figure it out but the bots can't.

You don't think they've made bots that can look that up too?

^ Exactly. You could just put it on an Image. I figured that they havent made bots that can read E Mails off a Image yet.

you got to give it to the spammers they are smart, using google to pull up email address. NOT they should go get JOBS
