Well, I've just sent an e-mail to abuse @ ev1.net about Property World. The header of the spam e-mail said that the mail server IP is 207.218.248.10 , which is owned by a company called Everyones Internet, Inc. They seem to be a legit web hosting service.
Hopefully the e-mail to their admins will be effective.

That shouldn't be possible but I don't know how secure is the phpBB software this forum is running on. They could be following links to owner's websites and harvesting the emails from there I suppose, but I got their email to addresses that are not linked to from here. More likely, they have just been harvesting. And how many people got this email that are not rental owners? Who knows.I wonder - could they have got our email addresses from this website? (laymyhat I mean).

I'm very worried that the harvesting is taking place via the French Connections website. I have taken great pains to ensure that my inquiry e-mail is not harvestable from my site, and I haven't used that e-mail on any listing site that doesn't take such steps.
The only way to get my e-mail from my site is to copy it by hand. I used to get a few spam e-mails a year, but recently it has stepped up considerably. My first guess would be the FC inquiry form which contains our e-mail addresses in the code.
And frankly, if that's true, it really pisses me off...
