If I could filter myself, I'd have picked a phrase in each of those three types of Spam I got and no more would come. Sure the spammers will rotate the text ever so often, but I can add new phrases faster then they change and get relative peace.

This is not a computer science problem that has not been solved dozens of times, Hell even forums like this have more robust anti-spam features.
I would think a single filter would catch a great amount of them, assuming it could take into account variables...

(any number)[comma or no comma]{three or four 0's}<space or no space>(k or K)

Realistically, most people would switch to m instead of k once they get into the millions range... but I believe every rmt I recall always used the k monkier.

This filter would trip on nearly every rmt tell I can recall seeing.
And doesn't have as much of a chance to trigger on normal conversations, due to the aforementioned normal people swapping to m when you get over 1,000k.
