Received an email today from someone claiming that they once held my email address, but lost it due to a changed password. They asked if I would let them have it.

Hmmm... so the word "scam" immediately flashed in my mind, but a quick web search came up empty.

Any thoughts about this? FWIW, I've held this account pretty much since free email accounts existed. It's not a particularly clever or fashionable address that would have a commercial value.
