I did that, although I didn't really get that many afterwards, a few though. What happens is they send you an email because they find your address somewhere (maybe, spider web pages for address etc.). This is a test. Then when you go to the unsubscribe page, and enter your email, they know that the account is active, then they keep spamming it.


i let about 15 come in before i started unsubscribing, which then made them come in faster.

It has been reported in the media that fake software is being circulated on the Internet
under the "makelovenotspam" name, which is actually not a screensaver but a computer virus.
Please note that the "makelovenotspam" initiative has been discontinued. There is no point
in trying to obtain a copy of the screensaver, as it will not function anymore. Moreover,
you may be offered a computer virus which has nothing to do with the original campaign, and
may actually be harmful to your computer and the data stored on it. You are therefore
advised not to download or install any software purporting to be the "makelovenotspam"
screensaver, and to remove any copy you may have on your PC.

Project Honey Pot
A new and probably better way to fight spam.
It doesn't attack the spammers servers, but allows website administrators to collect the neccessary informations about spam bots/spiders and their owners easily, to gather the needed evidence to sue them and send them to jail.
