If people didn't respond to these, or any other spam for that matter, it would disappear in a month.

As of now, spammers need only 1 or 2 responses to recoup their costs.

For these types of messages to be still sent out means someone, out there, is "helping" these people.

Grrr. It was the way they used capital letters throughout the email that fooled me. Thought they were so poor they didn't have capslock.
