Need Help... how would someone get my personal e-mail address from BB?

Maybe a Mod will come along and help me here. It freaks me out stuff like this but this was an e-mail I rcvd today in my personal e-mail account:


This is a message from DC95864 at BirdBoard.Com - Parrot Message Board & Pet Bird Owner Forums ( BirdBoard.Com - Parrot Message Board & Pet Bird Owner Forums ). The BirdBoard.Com - Parrot Message Board & Pet Bird Owner Forums owners cannot accept any responsibility for the contents of the email.

To email DC95864, you can use this online form:
BirdBoard.Com - Parrot Message Board & Pet Bird Owner Forums

OR, by email:
mailto:suchabrattt@aol.com

This is the message:

Hi I am looking at adopting a Miligold and read your post and wanted to see how yours turned out? I would appreciate any info you could share?

Thanks, Dave


Please help... how did this person get my personal e-mail account from this site?
Now dont get me wrong, I dont mind answering questions like this .... thru the site. This person does not
wish to accept e-mails through the site though. So guess what, I have no intention of responding. Am I wrong here?

You can change it under your user CP so that your email isn't available and only pm's are!

Yeah, you must have all your info displayed. It automatically displays your email, name, etc. unless you select otherwise. That would freak ME out.
