Spammers are stupid

Added very crude filter to an email server. I don't usually go for crude filters, but it is "Alliance and Leicester" not "Alliance and Liecester". How do people do elaborate phishing scams when they can't operate a spell checker.
Some other Pay-per-click scammer has decided one of our domains is hosting his PHP. Half a million 404 hits a week for several weeks and he hasn't noticed yet that he has the wrong domain name.
Anyone have a good idea on where to send 0.5 million horny Chinese web surfers each week? I'm thinking http://NoScript.net/ except only about 1% of them are using Firefox.
