Spam disclaimer of the day

Things are extremely busy here so blogging is not getting quite the attention it should. I hope to return to more extensive posts soon. Meanwhile, you’ll have to put up with short posts.
Today is a disclaimer I received in a spam. This is one of my addresses that has, somehow, ended up on UK-specific lists.

Disclaimer: “Note:- We are not spammer. We found your email through manually efforts. You will need to verify your email address to unsubscribe from our mailing list. Your email address will be deleted from our database automatically and you should not receive any more emails from us. The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.

So they find my email address. They start sending me vouchers for £’s off of different products in the UK. And they won’t let me unsubscribe unless I verify my email address.
Sorry, sanzal.com you are spammer[sic].
