Can someone explain how the following spam works.  Is it possible to
reply back? Or take any kind of action? Seems mass calling to the toll
free number would cost them.

Just wanted to let you know about a broadcast on the internet like you've
never heard
before.  It's called ALTERED FREQUENCIES.  The first show starts on
Sunday,
February 23
at 6PM Pacific, 9PM Eastern.  The program features the most obnoxious and
intriguing
guests imaginable.  We invite you to call the studio and be on the air,
on
this international broadcast.   The toll-free number is:

   ************************* 888-535-AFAF (2323) **********************

                             the web address is:

    ************************** www.afaf.com **************************
 =======================================================================
Regarding spam mail, your email address wasn't BOUGHT, HACKED, ETC... it
was
given to
us either by word of mouth, or was available on a public mailing list
(which indicated that you may be interested in this type of programming.-
My comment - That would be a huge stretch of someone's imagination.)

Replying to this message will only cause you to receive a bounced message
back.
