Of all the places to have a drop email box, wouldn't one think that spamcop would be one of the fastest providers to shut them down?

Of course, there is always the possibility that this is a joe job, since the email contains absolutely no details or website links with regard to what junk they are trying to get me to buy.

Puzzling. I'd vote for Joe Job too, although the username seems a bit generic.

Why can't he be like all the other crooks and get a bulletproof website?

Sorry, I meant no details as to products. Usually they have a website or pictures in the email of fake watches and great "deals".

Not sure how to interpret that but I'm supposing a real address with greylisting would do that?

Member Fred Showker's website is presently the only Google hit for that address (in quotes) - the 169_spamcop.html page - due to the vagaries of the search algorithm (that actual address is not on the page but that's OK, he invites spam to his real address in any event).

I really don't know enough but yeah, certainly chucklesome as Will says.
