Okay I am not a merchant but I buy alot , so before everyone gets nasty let all take step back.

First this only started after the new server upgrade, and yes its only via renderosity I am getting Nigerian Scams, while most of us are smart and savvy online lots of people dont not render, draw or have anything to do with graphics  apart from Looking at them.  They are  what I call the collectors. 

Somewhere there is a bot and this is a fact and its collectiong people email address.  One way admin can really check is simple, Open a new email address for renderosity and see how long it takes for this spam to arrive.

If it takes a couple of minutes this is a sure fire way to know that a BOT is on the server somewhere, remember these guys are master criminals operating not only out of nigeria but multi countries this is why most ISP's cannot do anything about them as they are based overseas not in the country the server is from.  They can afford to pay hackers big bucks to crack security and any server worldwide, theirs is a billion dollar business. If banks with highgrade security get cracked every day so can anyone else online its a FACT all your techs have to do is check, so this way members can remain safe in the future.

But the tech guys here can do something if they find the bot they can nuke it and upgrade security so its stops.  I believe there is software to sniff and alert techies to bots?

As I only use GMAIL for all my accounts and I did this on purpose so my dedicated paying email address would  be clean and it has been since its conception in 2000.
