Another method (which it sounds like they used here) is to put their ad in an image, so that it also gets by the filter.
These two techniques have led to a lot more spam in my work email inbox over the last few years. Bastards.

THERE WAS NO WAY TO CONTACT THEM.
It did go into my spambox, not my inbox. So it wasn't really successful. It just seemed pointless because there didn't appear to be a way to buy stuff from them.
