Difference of Spam Mail

I usually use the Gmail for my web mailer. I think it's very useful and functional, I like Gmail. It also has a hi-functional spam filter, I've never seen spam mails in my inbox on Gmail. Sometimes, I check spam mails with out of my curiosity. Roughly speaking, spam mails in my mailbox have 2 kinds; it's from Japan or the other countries. I noticed 2 kinds of spam mails have a interesting difference. What is that?

Most of spams from Japan are from dating site, :D it's for only guys and the funniest point is that. They say "A rich girl is looking for guys to have a casual relationship (it means "she doesn't want boyfriends, she just wants sex friends!"), and you're chosen by her! Plus she wants to pay for you to thank you! Congratulations!!!" I received that kind of spams everyday. :D I think it's ridiculous, funny and Japanese society is a little sick. I'm worried about our future..

On the other hand, most of spams from other countries are ads of software and viagra (legal(?) drugs). :D I think they're healthier than Japanese spams; it's only my case, so I don't know what kind of spams you receive.

Anyway, I learned that there's culture difference even if it's ridiculous spam mail. I think it's funny and interesting.

Spam really gets on my nerves too sometimes although I am lucky to have a very good spam filter on my primary e-mail and also on my GMail account, as you have pointed out also.
I have heard of spam like that here too although they are a bit more sober. They are mainly for dating sites like you said but I doubt that they are as "inviting" (I am being sarcastic when I say inviting) as the japanese versions.
I have seen many flavors of spam ranging from people whom want money for crazy inventions that could never work to the viagra ones you've mentioned to ads about pumps to make 'ehem'... the male reproductive organ bigger... Suffice to say that getting spam like that is never very interesting.

The most interesting spam I have gotten is one where a guy tells you he wants to store lots of money in your bank account in exchange for a percentage. All he needs is your bank account number.
