Please be careful about giving out personal info on websites, including thriftyfun.com. Last week I posted a comment about a cute little dog photo on thriftyfun.com. I then got a message from the woman saying I sounded nice and could I email her at her email address. I did so, and now have received 4 spams from her.

it seems a bit strange to me, that you would email anyone just because they say you sounded nice. Since you did email her, you can slow down or stop receiving spam mail from her by using the spam filter built into your email client.
I had ran an ad in a refunding magazine for coupons, & such. I had a lady not interested in the coupons, etc. respond to me by sending me all kinds of unwanted junk via snail mail, for a few months. I'm just thankful this doesn't happen very often.
