I've been receiving spam from this site a lot, their program is called Hit Booster. See this site for the poor reputation, comments, and reviews: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/advertise-bz.cn. I really don't know how this site found my email address...
Do not visit http://advertise-bz.**. It's a scam.

Edit: I looked on this website more on http://domaintools.com/ and now I know this site runs from China. It owns 16 other domains. More Info:

I think this whole thread is spam

These types of sites crawl the internet to gain emails, so anywhere you've posted your email address, it can be found by them. That's why you should always post email address like me[at]myemailprovider[dot]tld.

And what happened when the bot that can read that comes along? Its not hard to do a find and replace.

Yes, but those bots are less frequent. The bots these people let out normally are only finding properly set-out emails.
