The site being advertised was www.ebay-laptop.com.  Silly really.  They're just asking for trouble with that statement.
 
Came in from 82.96.105.2, but with a fake yahoo email address.

OK, so I guess the point is the recipient has to prove that the message is spam? Sounds like "blame the victim"... And maybe the recipient has to buy what's being offered to avoid running afoul of the "LOSS OF INCOME" claim.
 
And what was being advertised?  Anything useful to the recipient?
 
Did this come from a source in the US? Interesting "English" there is the lower-case sentence... Mike, my guess is there's no court with jursidiction. But if it WERE prosecuted in the US, I would love to attend the trial!

Thought this was interesting... a spammer trying to use fear of prosecution to stop people from reporting their email as spam.
 
The spam was sent to a postmaster address never used for outgoing mail...
