What is there to understand, it's a scam. Don't resond, don't reply, and most of all don't unsubscribe. Just delete it.

If you want to be really community spirited you can report it.

Talking about spam is also spam. Pasting your spam on a BBS is just a waste of everyone's time. Can people STOP pasting their spam into ScoobyNet?

Which reminds me, if you have to ask if it's a scam or not ... it's not! Send them your money.

You don't need to know what it is, it's unsolicited, it's a scam, nearly as bad as the ****** from Nigeria that keeps emailing everyone asking for them to front some money so he can get his millions blah, blah!

Reporting to ISP is good idea, there are lots of NGO peoople that work on this too try and analyse where all this spam originates from and work with authorities to stop it.

Here is one for example:
