Spammers, just like telemarketers, prey on the weak - if they can trick you into it, with any tactic; they're doing their job. So they're attempting many tactics and checking which work. It's proven that if you have a filter on "Viagra", they're not reaching you to atleast tempt you with the product - they have to switch their tactics.
