Is there a way for people to get my email address from this site?
I truly believe that this person is going to try and scam me. All the misspelled words, improper syntax, and fragmented grammar leads me to believe that this is someone from Nigeria trying to get me involved in a 419 scam.

Any ideas on how my email address came up here?

Go here https://www.theforumsite.com/editprofile.php?mode=account

And where it says "public email address" delete the email address in there.

Ok, try it now and see if it's still there.
I deleted the "public" email address field and saved my profile.

Thanks,

Thanks to all for removing that image of my email address from your replies.

Now, I want to know if I did in fact remove it from my profile. So, could you please check again for me?

It gone from the side chart but you have it in the about me section. Only you can edit or remove that part.

As long you put it out there, people can and will use it. and sometimes for bad things. Sure its behind a "click here", that might stop a harvesting bot, but that's not going to stop a real person.
It took me a whole 4 seconds to find it.

Thanks for the heads up. I removed it from there as well.

Thanks to all for the needed help.
