I got the most incredible spam via my work email address about a fortnight ago. The email was addressed to other Michelles, with very similar (if not the same) surnames to mine. The best bit was that they had managed to cc: email addresses for 3 out of my last 4 jobs in amongst the other random names.... I can only conclude that my perma-out-of-office replies once I'd left the jobs made them think they'd hit a winner, and add me to their lists. Eerie though, to think about the trail of email addresses still lurking after I've left jobs!!!!

When you reply to them, it confirms that you exist.

There is a /lot/ of money, and, I mean, a /lot/, in selling legitimate email lists. That's how these scammers operate. They have an oga (head scammer/boss) who sells mugus (scammers) mailing lists and then shares the profits of the mugu's scamming.
