Spamming Bureau authentic?
 
I received a spam advertising a breast enhancement system claiming to be a part of Spamming Bureau. It has an option to opt out. I suspect it to be a trap. Has anyone heard of such an organization. Is it really anti-spam or a clever device to collect confirmed mailing lists for spammers?

Looks like harvesters to me... For example, when reporting they ask for the 'spammers email address'. These are almost always faked, so it's kinda pointless asking for this...

Nah, I wouldn't trust them.

If its an actual anti-spam company I doubt it would advertise itself through breast enhancement spams ;)

On the other hand maybe its an actual anti-spam organisation which has annoyed a spammer and this is the spammer having his revenge.
