stupid bit of spam

[miriam_e]

I got this piece of stupidity in my email:

This program worked for me. If you hate Spam like I do, you owe it to your self to try this program, and forward this email to all of your friends which also hate Spam or as many people possible. Together lets help clear the Internet of Spam!

...by posting spam to people??? How absurd is that?! I wonder if anybody gets sucked into such stuff. Of course what it probably is really about are the "product" links and little "Opt-out" link at the bottom of the email. It seems likely to me that the minute you click on either then you are put on a list of confirmed addresses to be sent more spam.

Hm. I'm wondering about the international implications of anti-spam laws. If something's illegal in US law, does it carry overseas if our spammers spam you? And if Aussie spammers spam us, do we get to extradite them? Too confusing...
