I'm sorry, but I believe that is the wrong attitude to take...
If the spam is about shares, then 99.9999% of the time it will not be sent by the company being promoted. The senders email address is usually either randomised real email addresses or totally fictious ones.
By singing people up to **** etc, you are contributing to the spam volume and increasing unwanted email to innocent people.
The spammers make money by buying a load of cheap/penny type shares, promote it, price increases slightly and they dump their shares making some money.
There are more twists to the technique, but that is basically what mostly happens.
Imo..

the only consistent thing is the contents of the image in the email, all the extra words to throw off the filters are different, name of the image file enclosed is different, senders address different..... Bunch of tw@s.

I always use my ip. email for friends and family, and set up yahoo or hotmail accounts for registering on websites. I never get any spam on the ip one and if it gets to bad on the others I just set up another!
