Received what seems like spam from Meetup member

I received an email message from someone who purports to be a fellow member of Meetup. It says:

"

Hello Fellow MeetUp Member,
Sorry your soccer meeting is being cancelled, Perhaps you will find this interesting.

As soccer fans, we have seen our sport grow quite dramatically in the U.S. recently.
In the past 12 years, the owners of Major League Soccer (MLS) have grown beyond the start-up risks. We believe new ownership groups (such as ours), can now enjoy the upside of soccer growth in this country.

As a Partner with us, you can participate in that growth.
San Diego Soccer Partners, Inc. now owns the rights to The San Diego Flash, a Men's Outdoor Professional Soccer team, based in San Diego, California. The team originally played in the A-League between 1998 and 2001. The Flash is now coming back to San Diego under this new partnership.

SDSP has created a unique opportunity by allowing fans to be Part-Owners / "Original Shareholders" of the Team.
Similar to fan ownership of the Green Bay Packers, Boston Celtics and recently a soccer club in the UK http://www.myfootballclub.co.uk

Our Company is doing a 504 Offering of shares.
This allows anyone (not just accredited investors) to invest any amount and be a Part-Owner of the Franchise.

SDSP believes San Diego, Ca., of any city in the Country, is the best for a soccer franchise to prosper.
San Diego is the 7th largest city in the country and 2nd largest in California
San Diego shares the border with Mexico where soccer is already the #1 sport
San Diego has been a 'soccer city' for a long time with a tremendous soccer fan base
Think of the success of L.A. Galaxy and Home Depot Center just 100 miles away
Part-Owners of this Sports Team can benefit from getting in on the ground floor level.
We are inviting fans who recognize the ongoing growth of soccer in the U.S. to become partners with us in this venture; to claim the San Diego territory for the future. Once you understand our business strategy, you will be proud to know you were an "Original Shareholder" in a Project that helped support the growth of "The Beautiful Game" in the U.S.. As The San Diego Flash becomes as popular as The San Diego Chargers and The San Diego Padres, we believe our Professional Soccer Franchise, from a business standpoint, can be a unique and profitable situation for years to come.

We believe we are in the right place at the right time with the right sport.

I invite you to visit our website to learn more about this unique opportunity.
To receive more detailed information, see 'Investor Page' and enter your contact info
The site is programmed to send you the info automatically.

Thanks for your time,
Clenton A. Alexander

My question: Is it okay for him to send me this? It's essentially spam. Can I send email messages to everyone in a Meetup group like this? Is there a way to block this kind of spam? I like Meetup, but I don't understand why he's offering me a business opportunity. I don't want one.
