hnechets, here's something I just noticed. I have an old Hotmail account that I rarely use but never got any spam. As soon as I signed up for MSN Passport and Messenger Service, I notice just now almost every day getting several spams similar to what you state. Do you have either of these services? They could be sweeping the profiles.

Same on AOL. My AOL screen name that I only use for file storage does have an AOL Profile. Under that screen name I get tons of spam. With my PremEx AOL screen name, I have no Profile listed, and get absolutly no spam.

Could it be they are mining Profiles at ISPs?
