I set up a hotmail account for my ten year old nephew. I was sure to be careful in that I didn't let them list his email in the directory, no subscriptions to all of those email magazines they offer (impose). Nothing.
Within the hour he was getting spam. I have no idea how that happened, considering he didn't enter his addy anywhere.

They probably targeted all hotmail accounts. I used to get a ton of stuff that was aimed at earthlink email addies in general--but all that stopped when I made it so all email had to be addressed to me directly, and even then, if certain words are in the title field the stuff doesn't get downloaded.
