Scam or Spam msg?

I've already discussed this issue in other forum but i wanna share it to you too guyz.., i just wanted to know if you experience receiving message in your e-mail account mostly in yahoo mail saying that you win $1 million in an electronic raffle draw in UK? it also mentioned that if you do not confirm it for just about 7 days the winning prize will be discard...i always get that kind of trash message in my email account..sometimes i also received an email coming from a person saying she's dying and her money will be donated to me and if i will not claim it for just about 1 week again it will also discard...do you think that two kind of msg is came from one person? do you think that is spamming or scamming? or just the same....?

I think both. Spamming and scamming at the same time,
they promoting a scam and out of that they were spamming
the e-mails to promote their scam. Evil
