They've probably already sold your email to a dozen other spammers.

they will be in for a shock as reported them to the Metropolitan Police Cyber Crime Unit who called me to say they have been in contact with their equiv. in begium who are in the process of shutting them down

I always wonder how many of these types of spammers simply close shop and reopen somewhere else and do it all over again?
