Angry Unsolicited e-mail question

I have been getting e-mail lately asking me to try/buy a SPAM stopper or a debt colsolidation outfit from an address- http://www.debtleadsprogram.biz/d/ but all these e-mails have an address that ends in .biz I never replied to any but they have a link at the bottom to end any further e-mails from them. I used an anonymizer and tried to find out who these folks are and their site would not come up. Also at the bottom of their e-mail is a short line of mixed letter jibberish. It is usually sent from one person I do not know and only to me (no others in the To: header) Has anyone had this e-mail sent to them? I have heard to just delete them and never reply to them to ask to be removed - or they will then know it was a good e-mail address and would them flood me with more.

Depending upon your email client, setup a filter to auto delete all email address that ends in .biz or debtleadsprogram.biz

.biz is a legitimate top level domain name, so I'd filter based on the full domain rather than .biz
