I know, never-ever reply. I tried setting up a filter at my web host, but they keep changing their tactics to get around the filter. I just shift+delete when I see them.

I know it's just a numbers game. Sooner or later they will mail to a guy who watches p0rn and is gullible enough to send a few hundred dollars in bitcoin and the scammers win.

If we all were intelligent enough to never respond to spam and scam, it wouldn't be profitable, and would most likely go away. But that will never happen. So in the meantime it's just a PITA.
