Some spam I just received:

You lucky duck!
Don't feel so honored. They tried to recruit me five years ago.
Scientology better up its game. They've got some competition.
I really want some stats on who falls for that.
I thought Eugene was already a member.
What transparently obvious spam. Any legitimate Illuminati would know you're already a member 3x over, membership being granted automatically to every Jewish man, every Hoover Institution Fellow, and every person born on February 29.
I'll only join when a Nigerian army colonel invites me.
