I have "hide email from public"  checked and he still got my address.

That's...disturbing.  When you hide email from public, even members shouldn't be able to see it.  Time to go bug the creators of the forum software.

Mark I also rcvd one of these messages.

I got one as well.....

[icepick]

I got one too, but I decided to play with him a little bit.  Here's what I wrote back to him.....

Dear Kaluo;
 
Thank you for taking the time to contact me with regards to helping you out of your situation.  I need to know how you found my profile?  Is this profile available to be seen in the Ivory Coast?  I fear my life may be in danger if that is the case as I have had dealings in your country before.  I trust that the information I'm about to give to you will be kept strictly secret between me and you.  I am an arms dealer as well as a hired "problem solver" if you will.  I have provided many warring factions the means to kill each other off in your country.  Cant say I blame people for wanting to knock each other off there as it is a sh#*hole, but thats neither here or there really.  Not trying to be mean or anything, but i'd rather live in a crack infested whore house than be a citizen in that country.  Anyways, ive also been given money to "take care of business" in your country, by both rebel forces and government authorities.  Without giving you too much as I dont really know you and I cant be sure who reads this, but when someone has a problem with someone else, I make that someone else dissappear............get my drift?
 
I kinda feel bad as your father may have been one of the guys who got whacked either by me or by arms supplied by me.  I was thinking about this the other day and it's amazing that you contact me now.  Its like you were reading my mind!  I want to turn over a new leaf and I think im going to start with you brother!
 
So how much money are we talking about here.  Would you be coming to live with me?  Are you married with kids?  Would they be coming here too?  And how much do I stand to make out of this??
 
Looking forward to hearing from you my friend!  Lets get this thing going!

guess we'll see if he takes me serious and responds!
