Hi Ruth, Spammers grab email addresses off newsgroup postings, mailing lists, and anything else that is publically archived such as webpages to garner email addresses to use. They may assign random names to the email addresses to make them look more authentic rather than just sending spam through with just an alphanumeric numbering on it. Unfortunately, this is a widespread practice and there is no way to guard against it except to not post your email address on any mailing list, newsgroup or website.
