If you received the following email in your email box, please delete it, and pay no attention to it whatsoever. It is a Scam sent by a robot
Looks like a robot got past the CAPTCHA system, not a good thing. (Nested bot as well)

    Another variant of the Nigerian 419 scam.
    Makes me glad I hid my email address.

    Darnit - why couldn't you have warned us earlier?  But then all she wanted was my bank account number and access code, she can't do anything with that from the Ivory Coast can she?  Do you think it will take very long for my share of the $9,500,000 to be credited to my account?  Oh, I forgot, she also asked for my credit card number.  She must be an alright lady as she didn't ask for my inside leg measurement.

    We must have faith in our Ivory Coast brothers and sisters to protect our interests.

    CH should now move to hide all e-mail addresses in profiles.

    Have a good day.
    One good deed is worth more than a year of good intentions.

    CH does not allow outside visitors (guests) to view Profiles, however, if a bot registers, and starts scanning through the forum system, there isnt much to do.

    Hopefully, this problem will be addressed by converting addresses to hexadecimal characters and converting it back using JavaScript (Does not require Java)
    Hopefully, that will stop bots. Bots see pages without images, scripting, etc. Just the text
