Posted by michael on from the nuisance-factor dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'About a third of people responded to a spam, seeking more information. And 7 percent actually bought a product or service.' Who are these people? Is this really what non-techies do with Spam? They can have my Spam if they want it :-)"

    THIS LETTER MAY COME AS A SUPRISE TO YOU BEING
    THAT WE'VE NEVER MET. MY NAME IS MYRON GOATSE III
    SON OF DEPOSED PRESIDENT MGUBU GOATSE II OF NIGERIA.
    My father found a way to satify her all night long
    with an all-natural HERBAL V1AGRA. His military
    leaders were jealous, they couldn't go at it more
    than twice in a night. They staged a coupe which
    forced my father out of the country with his secrets
    to MAKE MONEY FAST with his 100% GUARANTEED PENIS
    GROWING SYSTEM.

    My father was a rich man hence why I send you this to
    ask your advice because you are Seek of Spam and would
    rather make MONEY pushing h0T net Lolita Cum Guzzling Slutz!!
