Yes, I have also receive regular Korean & Chinese spam that I cannot read. Once you get a on list...
When I start receiving SPAM written in Latvian, I will know that someone has perfected a 'ethnic finder'. This may not be that hard to do -- just look for first names that are common only in that language. I'm sure someone Perl expert could even write code to differentiate between nationalities withsimilar spellings... i.e. Valdis[Latvian --> send SPAM about Riga based business], Valdas[Lithuani an --> send SPAM about Vilnius based business].

Anyone else come across this fine grained spamming?

Indeed I
have... also many spam in a character set that looks like Japanese,
Mandarin or Korean...
