Frank,

If you are getting the same kind of spam as I do, then the likely answer 
is that instead of using text and links, as in traditional spam, the 
text is in fact an image, so the traditional spam filters do not catch 
it, and there are no links in the message.

Just relax, and go for a bigger penis ;-)
