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.

Actually I did a little googling after my Last post and it seems this is a well discussed topic. Apparently the guy responsible for the message is a seriously emotionally disturbed individual, who also happens to be a convicted spammer.
If you were a convicted fellon wouldn't you wanna time travel to? Just a thought. Go back in time to the point at which you made the mistake that got you busted and warn yourself not to do it. Then again, if your a con man, you will think that your self from the future is attempting to con you so you wouldn't listen and you'd do exactly what he warned you not to do and would be busted again thus starting the time paradox that will repeat itself a cilltillion to the 1 cilliton power and then some.

About the time travelling story, I really liked the part where a guy made up an Online store just for the spammer. Both text and pix are hilarious:

For those who haven't found it, the story:
