It seems that the spammers are starting to branch out a bit to beg for people's attention... unfortunately. However, I couldn't help but laugh at this one:

Greetings,
We need a vendor who can offer immediate supply.

If they turn out to be reliable in supplying the below equipment I'll immediately pay you $5,000. We prefer to work with vendor in the Boston/New York area.
1. The mind warper generation 4 Dimensional Warp Generator # 52 4350a series wrist watch with z60 or better memory adapter. If in stock the AMD Dimensional Warp Generator module containing the GRC79 induction motor, two I80200 warp stabilizers, 256GB of SRAM, and two Analog Devices isolinear modules, This unit also has a menu driven GUI accessible on the front panel XID display.

NO vendors of said equipment are going to sell to anyone who's actually LOOKING for it.
You're either IN, or you're OUT.

What I don't understand (there are lots of things... but about this specifically), is what benefit this is to the spammer. What does he get by sending people this crap? Is there an ad in the email for something?

Maybe he is hopping he will get lucky!
Or most likely, this message fell through a time warp from the 26th century. Or he is just having fun.
