Not true.
They say SPAM in the subect due to some overly aggressive tagging by the list hosting machine. But they are not in fact spam. Look at them and you will see.

SPAM: Home Loan Application Lorna Hightower SPAM: Re: bizokVijagra Raina Kunkel SPAM: $B7K!!%:%l4](B momoe SPAM: Fw: All who loves MONEY which are there in abundance.
