My guess would be that there's no real person behind the individual spammi, the spammer just sets up a series of bots that use a bunch of temporary email adresses to spam, before the adresses are shut down.

That's probably why my sender's e-mail address usually looks like a captcha... :wtf:

Dear Friend
My name is Garry Lopez,a citizen of the United State Of America.Presently i am working with Shell petroleum,Nigeria until when i was diagnozed with a terminal illness which made me resign from work and was admitted at the lagos university teaching hospital.Recently my doctor gave me very disturbing news that after all the series of medical examinations and surgeries i have been through that i will be unable to make it(live to the next three months) hence my reason to give my life a second thought and think of the best possible way to use my remaining time on earth for the benefit of humanity and set up vocational institutions for the underpriviledged.
My purpose of contacting you,is for your assistance to use my reamaining fund in the bank $3,589,657.78 for charity work in which you will be the sole beneficiary and also manage this fund for me when i am no more for charity work and contributions to orphanages.I can fully assure you that it is 100% risk free and it is legitimate money i acquired from floating an oil drilling company which is a major contractor with shell when i was still working.Please call me or send SMS on this number +2348055274828,please be sure to dial the number correctly as i will be waiting for your reply.Thank You.Please be kind enough to furnish me with your telephone numbers and contact details so that we can proceed.I will be expecting your call or sms today.Please let me hear from you.I will be expecting your SMS or call on +2348055274828.i have sent you my photo below as attachment

Remain Blessed
Garry Lopez

No, but when you spread links like that off spam mail, you are actually helping out the spammers.

Same situation as Mars and Stormkeeper, but it's all in the Spam section anyway so it doesn't matter. Same for you guys, or what?

Mine usually goes into the Junk folder, where I either mark as unsafe or report as phishing scams. It seems to work, because I don't get that much spam anymore.
