I’ve started getting spam again to the mail address that is on my profile here at the SDMB (“THIS PERSON WANTS TO BE YOUR LOVER” - purporting to be from ‘[LoveBox.com](http://LoveBox.com)’, but according to their website (they are a cardboard box manufaturer) it’s not from them).

Is anybody else getting this?

Not me.

Now you see why many of us keep our e-mail addresses hidden. [sigh]

I’ve never gotten spam as long as I’ve been a member of the SDMB community.

I get spam, but not as much as before, they are usually around 1500 lines &  
contain a virus EXE or a PIF or a BAT file.

I should have given a Yahoo email address. sigh.
