TRF give away our Email address for SPAM?

I just got this spam in my mailbox:


H4ndCraftedR()lexCl()nes

DOES TRF SELL OR GIVE AWAY OUR EMAIL TO SPAMERS?

Now why would you think that you got spam because of TRF ??

I have never received anything even resembling spam that I thought might come from the Forum..

Fake Rolex spam is right up there in quantity with viagra and stock market pump and dump spam. It is NOT related to TRF.

I never received this spam before. My email account is very clean so far. My wife's is a disaster. She is constantly signing up for stuff. That's why I got my own email.

I am sorry for jumping the gun here. I just thought it was too coincidental that it was a Rolex spam.
