Hey Carey,
There is no option to make your profile private. What privacy text are you referring to?
But this doesn't mean that your account is public. The only part of your account that people see is your Name: "Carey". They don't see your email, purchased subs or address...
From my own experience - I don't own an account that doesn't receive thousands of spams per week. I don't know how they do it, but they somehow manage to find out each email. It's either by hacking other people's inboxes and scanning the messages and address book, or by hacking websites and getting access to the users table... Once someone gets your address it is being resold on the "black market". A year ago I received a spam mail letting me know that if I want 3 000 000 email addresses of American users I can pay 150$ to get them...
Kind regards,
Daniel
