I don't know about that, but its not beyond the realms of possibility
that someone maliciously signed the OP up via freelancers.net - I don't
think there's any kind of opt-in confirmation.. just slap in an email
address and bingo, they're signed up. (Admittedly, I signed up my gmail
account and haven't had anything at all through yet..)

I seem to recall Tony doing some testing and finding that it was quite
easy to sign up for an account on freelancers.net and be silently
subscribed if you simply missed a checkbox.

C'mon sparkes, you've been around long enough to know the answer to that
one already ;)
