Don't reply to spam, the bots only pick this up and mark you as a really active e-mail address and a good target to send more crap to.

Don't list your emailaddress anywere, simple as that (you have your hotmail email address listed in your profile). Spam bots roam the net in search for such emails...

also, as Anubis said, NEVER reply to those emails!!!

O.P. RE: Dodgy E-Mails
OK, I list my Hotmail one anyway for other people 'cause i don't really care about it getting spam lol. I don't list my GMail account though and yet most were sent there. Oh well, I'll continue not to advetise it and no more replying:).
