Les: I ain't that dumb, my only question is how he\she got my email. And how did the person know I'm a nairalander??

fr3do: and u opened a thread on the matter
if the scammer sent this message to 1600 persons,there is the highest possibility that at least 10 of them will be nairalanders.

ogugua88:

The YIM info on your Nairaland profile looks like an email address. That could be how.

Les: damm, I didn't think of that. I filled that column recently and the mail is also recent.. The msg is particularly annoying, makes me feel desperate and perverted.
