Rule #1: Spammers lie
Rule #2: If a spammer ever appears to be telling the truth, consult Rule #1
Rule #3: Spammers are stupid
I believe the first two rules came first, and the third was tacked on at some point later. Less widely stated rules include:
Rule #0: Spam is theft
Krueger's Corollary to Rule #3: Spammer lies are really stupid
Russell's Corollary to Rule #3: Never underestimate the stupidity of spammers.
There are a few alternative versions of the rules, including:
Rule #1: Spammers lie
Rule #2: There is no such thing as legitimate or ethical UCE
Rule #3: Spammers are stupid
