Well I hope you managed to filter out the correct email address from their spam emails. The real originator is often masked in some devious way, or has an address that is dynamically created, and is different each time a fresh load of spam is sent. They may even have commandeered someone's legitimate email account for the purpose of spamming.

Worst case scenario would be that the address you found is that of an innocent individual who is now in receipt of 200 newsletters.

So it could even lead to an escalation of the spam in circulation.

All I'm saying is... I hope you got the right addy!! :o)
