Here are some more:

Robert Maxell - fxtradingsuccess@gmail.com
V.Shelters - fxrobotexpert@gmail.com
Martin Alexander - support@covert-forex.com

ForexKiller - forexkillersupport@gmail.com --- with these guys I don't understand why they're e-mailing me even though I've never purchased their forex killer system...my guess is that them and the fapturbo guys are related.

Now, just to be clear and fair, I classify a spammer a person who e-mails you without first obtaining your permission. There are many cases where I (and no doubt many of you) get e-mails from mailing lists that I subscribed to which promote other forex products...forex megadroid's support mailing list and fapturbo's being a perfect example. However I would not classify these as spammers.

Tip: Always check at the bottom of their spam e-mails for an unsubscribe link. If their e-mail are managed via popular mass mailers your request will be honored.

Tip 2: Be careful with some e-mail. You may think you're clicking on an unsubscribe link but often what happens is that by doing this you unwittingly verify yourself to the spammers.

C'mon Alan, it is not as easy as opting out.

I still get spammed by the FAPT guys to buy FAPT even though I bought it release day.
