as soon as you put your email in a guestbook or anywhere in public, or even if somebody who has your address and their computer gets a virus, your email is harvested and sold in bulk to anyone with the cash.
The 419 scammers send out THOUSANDS of those emails in hopes that ONE person is dumb enough to send them money.
Some people like to string the scammers along and see how far they will go.....
