I got some spam today with this :

Spammed? If you believe that you have been spammed, then lodge your
complaint with the Spamming Bureau. CLick below to go there now:
spammingbureau com

My Gut feeling is this is a clever way of verifing peoples email address..

Report them! This seems a bit hypocritical to me, as they are supposedly crusading against spam, yet spamming themselves. Toss it out.

Spam Fact: The increases in marketing messages are outpacing the growth in personal e-mail. By 2005, expect to get about one marketing e-mail for every two or three personal messages. -Industry Standard

Only 1 for every 3 personal mails! Sign me up :)

Please!!! Give me a break! "If the email you recieved offers you the option to unsubscribe, use it." This is a dead giveaway... That's a surefire way to spread your email, by validating the fact that it's real...

UGH-
