If your e-mail address is listed on the Trent web page or a web page anywhere on the Internet chances are spam “bots” will find it. Other method spammers use to obtain e-mail addresses is postings on Usenet newsgroups (sometimes called discussion groups or bulletin boards). See similar questions...

One day you get an email that says something like 'your account is in serious trouble, you need to login and do something'. But when you click on the link, it takes you to a web site that looks exactly like the bank or the credit card company and you are fooled into entering your account no or credit card number.
