UPDATE: Thanks to backscatter, I got aware of the following email today:
FROM: kimsufi345@example.com
To: rizal@example.org
Dear rizal,
We are looking for employees working remotely.
My name is Carlos, I am the personnel manager of a large International company.
Most of the work you can do from home, that is, at a distance.
Salary is $2900-$5900.
If you are interested in this offer, please visit Our Site
Good day!
The Link under "Our Site" leads to some sort of malware website (untested).

Well it would be nice, if someone could inform him, that this sentence is a big misconception. My Email address was stolen from Kimsufi forum and is actively being misused to send SPAM in my name. This way of misusing email addresses (even though obvious) was new to me. It is a very primitive form of identity theft. The damage in my case is negligible, since I used that email exclusive for Kimsufi forum, I already changed it and is now used as SPAM trap. I am sure other people are not so lucky.
