Thx for the warning, some low life is obviously reading the forum seeing someone publically displaying an e-mail address and trying their luck.

Personally I'd guess that if someone has a certain forum username, the same avatar name used in a published hotmail e-mail address, the same name could be used elsewhere too....

It's a shame scammers like this exist but I do wonder how many people make this just a little bit too easy for these scum bags.

File a support case also. MA may want to submit a request to hotmail to have that account shut off. I know the place I work has been able to have a few email accounts shut off as well as a youtube site by filing abuse cases with particulars.

Sheesh how crazy people can be.
