Is Google my friend?

GMail is a great webmail service. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. You can use your email client to access your inbox (via POP or IMAP), for free. I personally have a GMail account, and two domains that uses GMail through Google Apps. I have almost no complaints about it.
Except that GMail seems to be a big spam enabler. For some months now, my work email is being regularly inundated with spam from a lowlife named Sophia Navarro, a peddler of useless "business seminars". Despite my repeated complaints to abuse@gmail.com, there seems to be no lasting effect that stops her from sending unsolicited, bulk messages. She's using the same few email addresses from GMail to do her deeds:
phia05@gmail.com
cannary05@gmail.com
navarro.sophia@gmail.com
No amount of spam-forwarding to GMail's staff has any effect on her accounts, as she is able to continue using these accounts to hawk her unwanted services. She used to send her spam through her Yahoo account but after a couple of emails to Yahoo's Abuse address, she is no longer using it (either Yahoo has better anti-abuse policies, or GMail is a better platform for sending spam).
Spammers are scums of the earth. It's sad that Google is turning a blind eye to service abusers.

The e-mail having phia05@gmail.com does not necessarily mean that this is an actual and valid e-mail address. Even you can give yourself ANY e-mail address you want in your e-mail program/settings. Though of course you won't ever get an answer then, lol! But spammers obviously don't care about getting an e-mail back ...
