ID-ten-T spammers

One of the ways that comment spammers try to "social engineer" their little packages of pus onto an otherwise clean blog is by coming off all conversational and trying to look like a legitimate comment. When you preview all the comments left on a board, you only see the first line or two on the main screen. Here is what some Fscking fool left last evening - text has been altered to prevent searching:

Good Morning,

First of all:

#1) - if I had a guaranteed formula for making money, I sure as hell would not be trying to spread it around. I would not want for anyone else to know about it and I would most certainly not try to sell this information. If it worked, why the fsck would I need to make stupid money from selling the information all the while diluting my primary revenue stream?

#2) - the three domains that were used in the email are all legitimate business domains that have had one of their forums hijacked by spammers.

I still find it hard to believe that there are people stupid enough to buy from spammers. This spam never made it out to the general public, my script caught it and held it in moderation until I could look at it.
As for the title, spell it out: ID-ten-T = ID-10-T = ID10T Loosers...
