Nope. The majority of these oringinate in Africa or Asia, some in Russia. Once you get one, it is a given that your email is on a list being sold and resold among scammers.
Never leave an email address on a "guestbook" . Scammers go through them and copy the addresses, or use harvesting software. If you join boards, always check don't show email, and look and see if you can see a member list. Look to see if the email address are shown.
