I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this, but it has been happening to me for a while. I get weird e-mails saying:
Hi DearMy name is Miss Linda i saw your profile today and became intrested in you,i will also like to know you the more,and i want you to send an email to my email address so i can give you my picture for you to know whom i amHered is my email address,I believe we can move from here!I am waiting for your mail to my email address above.linda.(Remeber the distance or colour does not matter but love matters alot in life)
That's a real email I copy and pasted from my gmail. They're good for a laugh, as I'm sure they're either scam related or something inappropriate. I was wondering if anyone had this problem? Sometimes they include in the email that they saw my profile on chess.com, so I know it's linked to this site. Also, and maybe more as a note, I've seen more rude players on live chess than before. They don't bug me, but I think it's just odd.

It's probably not directly linked to this site. You include your name in your profile, so someone who looks up your name on Google will find your profile on chess.com. The email address was likely obtained in other ways.

it is likely that you posted your email address visit on the website somewhere. maybe on your profile, or in a group, or something. evil spiders crawl the web and look for email addresses posted on the web... message me your email address and i'll take a look.

You can usually avoid the "bots" which troll for email addies by only giving yours in PMs or notes to those you trust, or converting the "@" to "AT" and the "." to "DOT" so they don't recognize it as an email if you must post it on an open board (although with the internal messaging here, you shouldn't need to ever do that).
