Tons O Spam Scams...
Just a reminder to anyone seeing this to never purchase anything from Spam emails. Don't even bother clicking on them or trying to remove yourself from the lists. Eventually when the spam is too much to bear, get a new email address.
Always use a dummy email such as yahoo or hotmail to sign up for things online. Anyone getting your email will get you emails you won't care about in a few months plus there is a high probability your email will be sold to spam lists. I recommend this for places such as nice department stores or online stores you actually like (old navy, best buy, buy.com) and such also because after a while even their messages become too much to care about.

Try to make your main account name something that spammers can't guess. Try mixing numbers and a word if possible. Spammers are now shooting out tons of emails at random and take out any that bounce back leaving nothing but good emails in their list if you know what I mean.
So, here's the scoop on spam. The spammers are knowingly working illegally and don't care about you at all. They are disgruntled because ISP's have made it difficult for them to get their messages through to the consumer with spam blockers etc.
If you purchase anything from spam you are a moron.
Believe it or not, people are buying which keeps the whole cycle going. For the love of god stop buying stuff from spam. The good news is that scammers (which is almost synonomous with spammer) are working against themselves by spamming with complete scams, frauds and rip offs. If enough people get scammed, the potential of someone buying becomes less until their credibility is less than about zero where I believe it is now.
The mortgage offers are trying to steal your identity (u.s. refi co is in Brazil) and could care less if they offer a million dollar loan at 1% cause there is no loan, the drug people are selling their own manufactured drugs (there has been a recent case of cheap counterfeits being sold as the real deal), the stock updates are all loser companies (ran into a website that documents the lossses from these a few days ago) and the fake rolex spams support illegal counterfeit trade (ran into a website that documents the loss a few days ago).
C'mon folks. They bother me a lot and mainly it's because I get the same thing 3-5 times a day. I didn't buy the first 250 times so am I going to buy if they send number 251?
One last rant... The government is rediculously delinquent in terms of shutting these people down. How is it the same spammer works non-stop for years without being taken down for their illegal activities?
What we need to do is hookup the people with the fake credit cards out of nigeria and put them in touch with the rolex, viagra and mortgage folk. That would make for a good time :)
