    Just a small note:

    If you're going to make your contact information something like [email protected], then you should register that email so it won't be used by others on MSN. Otherwise, you are responsible for that email. A few people have been scammed by someone using an email similar to this, and it's hard to tell if it's an impostor or the real member.

    Simple way to avoid this problem: If your MSN is private, don't put anything in that space.

    It's times like this where you wonder "Why didn't I think of that"?

    Seriously - anyone who falls for that should be banned. Who'd be stupid enough to fall for an MSN on someones profile as: [email protected]

    [maybe an 11 year old]

    ROFL. That's almost so obvious that it's hard to think of :p But seriously, did the scammer like make any profit from the stupid e-mail? Because honestly, that person kind of deserves to get scammed if they fell for it :O
