How are they getting it?

In the last few months I have had people getting my email address for msn, and i don't know how they are getting it. The most recent one told me he got it from something called The Market, but won't tell me what that is. Anyone know what it is or how they can get my email address? I don't give out my email address to people, and the people are asking personla information. Anyone help?

Update:

But what is this market thing? And someone who has randomly added me told me they got it from a search that can tell you anyone's email address.

    sounds like someone just gave it out, there is no way to stop it ,

    but make a new e-mail and only tell your close friends ,

    i had a similar situation

    Hope this helps

    people usually get other people's email addresses from Email Forwards. There are people who just sit there and add every single person that has their email address on the email...

    other than that, myspace, facebook... or anywhere else u had putted it before.
