The problem with the kind if spam I get is that it mostly comes from one-man
-shows selling me utter crap, get-rich-quick-schemes, or loans:
"$80 Crystal Bear Now $4.95"
"Our Loan Packages Have Never Been More Attractive!"
"Full or Part Time Business Opportunity"
"A Way To MAKE EXTRA Money With EASE!"
"Copying DVD Movies is HERE!"
Although my main e-mail ends with ".uk" most of these offers come from the USA.
Related story : I have heard of a few people in the UK who are successfully
suing those who send "spam" via fax. I think they are able to get ~UKP100
(~$145.00) per fax + costs.
