What is funny is that these things work, even if everyone knows it is spam. Essentially, it is a pump and dump - but if you think you got the spam before everyone else, you buy even though you know it is spam. Then you sell after the later buyers buy.

So you may as well be polite about the spam and identify it in the header when you send it ;-}
