Default spam contact

I have just had an email from someone saying he found my email on here and is emailing me because I asked about something in this forum.

How did he get my email? He is using my forum name and states that he found it on WEB HOSTING UK Forum.

It will be deleted as I do with all spam but don't appreciate unsolicited emails because of this forum or my email address being passed around like this.

I will pm the details if someone can do something about this.

Hi Cassie,

The only way somebody will be able to access your email is if you've given it out.
