Unles you give out your email address, no one has your email address here.

If you're referencing the PM system ... anyone who becomes a member can send a PM to any other poster/member. This is what happened in this case ..... it was all via PMs

You think I gave them access to you or your email??????

First of all...no one on this board (including me) has your email address unless YOU gave it to them.

Secondly....you think that a scam is contagious somehow just from reading this thread???? Really?????
