I especially like that their mechanism to be removed from the list is a link to an email with no directions as to what to say/do.
I went to their home page, and at the very bottom is a whole lot of white space (lots of BR tags), then a login blurb for some reason, then a counter! Yes a counter.

Here's my reply to the spam email. Here's a link to the original spam email.Yep...I used to be a gazillionaire. (with a G) !!!Okay, maybe I'm lying. I was only a Trilionaire...Well, Actually the most money I've ever had in my pocket was $19,000,000. But I had more at home.I used to bury some and let it wait till I found it. Then one day this big guy came with a shovel and dug it up. I knew I should put a lock on the box.I can afford a lot of locks with all that money, but I didn't want to waste any.Do you save your money really good??? I do. (Except when someone steals it.)
