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.

right ok thanks

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

name[at]domain[dot]com

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.

spam.... PM the username or forward it to an online mod.

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

And what do you think spamming is if not a job?

you'll have to be a bit more creative than that

lol
