Convicted spammer? I didn't think that was against the law yet. Mostly I get spam for girls with animals and mortgage deals.

Well, I should have phrased that better. He was convicted for fraud. His particular spams were directing people to websites purporting to offer software for sale. In reality it would collect the persons credit card number when they ordered, and then give nothing. He was a notorius spammer though that just happend to also be a con artist. But as far as anyone can tell the time travel spams were not a con, but merely a symptom of a mental breakdown of some kind. Or he's a good actor and it's all a big joke.

I didn't get this one (used to get several others in the same vein though) but I saw someone else post it and it was funny enough to remember:

"Knock people down with your huge cock."

Yeah, I heard about that guy on the news. He got in trouble for fraud but some other people also got in trouble for frauding him. They sent him some spare parts and then charged him for it. It's all legit, well the guy being crazy and not meaning to hurt anyone anyway. I think all charges have been dropped but the guy is ordered to stay offline.

My 15 year old sister receives a lot of 'penis enlargement' spam.

I tend to automatically erase anything that looks like spam (I had to retrieve some non-spam Messages from the trash folder more than once).

Do they ever work?
Even in the strange occasion that I might be interested in buying the product/service they offer, I'd already dismissed their email.

Maybe they want us to think that the time travel story was a sympton of a mental break down. If he really were a time traveler, they would tell everybody that the guy was mentally unstable or something, to cover it all up.
