nope...it's just free-advertising. they're hoping someone will see it. don't worry. just don't open it. you can get viruses that way.

The spam will be sent to your inbox unless you only specified email addresses in your address book can do so. From my working knowledge, those senders actually do "spamwashing" before sending out those spams. They actually make sure that they pass the spamwash score therefore it could end up in your inbox.
Spammer can only access your account details if they send a trojan in an attachment with the spam (provided you have executed it). After your computer is infected, they will be able to know your passwords and activities.
