      Just got this in my inbox- how do these people get our email address?

      Dear fellow Mozzer! I am web programmer with special expertise developing SEO tools. These don't have the same functionality as you'll already find in Moz, but offer some unique features not found elsewhere. To date, I've written about 30 different tools but the ones I wanted to draw your attention to include my SERPs position checkers, website data scrapers, article spinning software, clones of Woorank, Rankpay and other SEO sites. Perhaps you could benefit from taking a look at my website alreadycoded.com to see if there is something there that could help your SEO work. To date, I have sold several copies of these tools. When you see what I'm offering, you'll better understand why. Looking forward to hearing from you. Google Places Scraper Website Grader Clone SERP Position Checker Woorank Clone Rankpay Clone

          So sorry about the spam! If you go to your profiles, you'll see there is an option to hide your email address on your profile. Right now, both David and Anthony have their emails visible to the world on their profiles; I'm guessing that's how this individual got your email address.

              I received the same email and forwarded it to SEOMoz. It looks like they scraped the public emails.

                It was a widespread problem. Here's a help desk post with how to hide your email address. We are not at all related with them, do not condone this, etc. etc. etc.
