I receive a whole bunch of these stock scam spam mails every single day - I get far more of those than any other form of spam. Since I'm not in the USA nor even remotely interested in investing money I don't have, it is really annoying. I wish I knew how to remove my details from whatever list these parasites found me on. Since the USA appear to have effectively legalised spamming I guess there's very little we outside of America can do about it.
