Well, this was the first time for me in nearly four years. And yes, I think Paul had already got rid of it by the time I notified him.

It really does help when people report spam. Multiple reports of the same spam are not a problem.

Even anti-scam sites such as 419eater get them, often in a ludicrous attempt to scam members. So they are not only banned but targeted by several scambaiters.
