It isn't necessarily a member here (and we do NOT sell our member list!)

But there are "mining" programs that harvest email addys from legitimate sites - often without knowledge or permission. It's so bad that if you've ever sent or received an email, you've likely been "collected." Ditto if you've ever ordered from a site like Cabela's or Midway where you posted an addy for order confirmation or signup.

The site itself is most probably innocent and unaware that it's been mined.

Report them to a spoof/spam site, delete them unread, and purge your delete file often.
