Define "legit" spammer. Do you mean one who was just advertising a real product, albeit in an objectionable fashion, as opposed to those who are trying to spread malware or commit fraud?

If you can read foreign languages, you are probably still receiving SPAM for legitimate products. Just last year I got some in Portuguese advertising a sort of "dude ranch" resort. And as far as fraud is concerned, Yahoo.com sells banner advertising to fraudulent organizations in Russia who are advertising so-called green card lottery services. The ads are fraudulent because Russian citizens are not eligible for the green card lottery. If you know about the history of Canter and Siegel on USENET you might find it rather ironic that the same scam is now advertised on Russian-language yahoo.com sites. --Michael Dillon
