I got 8 identical e-mails from millionbrushes.com, a canvas company in ISTANBUL! I hesitate to reply because that often encourages more.
Is anyone else getting these? If so, how do you think they found you? (FYI, my personal e-mail address is not posted on my site.)

I only got one, not eight, I have know idea how they got mine, but I read it, and then trashed it.

Who is this guy and how did he find my personal e-mail address? Man, I hate that. I'm so careful about opting out, but maybe one slipped through the cracks.

I have been receiving these pesky little emails myslef. I tried to opt out but it didn't work. After receiving email confirmation that I was off their list, I got another one 2 days after and I've been receiving them 2 or 3 times a week.
Something needs to be done with spam mail!

Hey! I got one too! I just read it and deleted it and then I haven't gotten another one, so hopefully I won't get another one...

We get them from them all the time. I marked them as junk several times, so now I think they are usually filtered out. We get tons of spam, but most of it goes directly into a junk folder that I delete each day, anywhere from 300 to 600 per day.

I get them too from million brushes... and a lot of other spam. I only get about 20 a day though... I get the same ones in both my personal and business acounts. I always wondered how they got both my addresses. I could see one or the other, but both?

No Im not getting this one but if you want some viagra, feel the need to extend your manhood, or want to make millions from stock tips, just drop me a line and I will put you in touch with some people who may be able to help.

I can also get you a copy of Adobe creative suite for about $79. I think that is a savings of over $1500!

I get them too. They are coming in off the email address that I have posted on my website and blog. I would assume they are picking the addresses up off your site as well. I use a different address to post to forums so it rules that out.

I have to wonder what they gain from spam. I get all this junk as well any out it goes. I set up a gmail account to use for filtering. That has saved me half an hour a day.

opening them is bad. once you open it, they get a receipt which verifies its an authentic email address... and so it begins....

I agree, but in this case I took a leap of faith and e-mailed the guy asking if he would remove me. He replied saying he would.
I haven't received another one from them for a few weeks now.
I realize I shouldn't necessarily believe him, but they do seem to have stopped.
