Must be just a coincidence then.

I have had my email address established for 10 years and use it for everything. I have registered in thousands of contests, given it to countless retail clearks, posted in 10 differnent bulletin boards and made hundreds of posts. I have used it at social networking sites, financial sites, etc. etc. etc. over that period. I have probably received and sent emails to an estimated 700 different people over that period. The number of times I have received emails from known contact that contained suspicious links.....maybe 1 or 2 at most. The number I have received from contacts I have made here.... 10-15 all in the last 18 months.

I'm not saying that this proves anything, just seems like a strange coincidence thats all.
