Spammers are really stupid.. or are they?
I don’t know about you, but if I needed or wanted Viagra, or any of the hundreds of products and services that spammers force feed to my many email addresses then I certainly wouldn’t buy it from them or the websites they help violate my email, and waste my time! Besides if i really had a need for some the crap that these low life pushers of pills, bootleg and counterfit mechandise had, i would just research and find it myself , and i am sure that many people feel the same way.. but then again i can’t remeber the last time i thought to myself that i wanted to buy some bootleg viagra, and a fake rolex watch~ heh Oh but i guess there is a market for such crap and more by the look of my junk mail folder.
According to Marshal Limited 29% of spam emails result in a sale. What is the motivation behind making online purchases from spam emails? Supply and demand! Recent polls show that aproximatly 250 million internet users have made purchases freom spam emails.
So spam turns out to be a rather booming business. No wonder the number of spam emails already make up for 85 percent of all email traffic. Anstis: “There are approximately 250 million people out there who are interested in these kinds of products and have made purchases from spam in the past. That’s equivalent to double the population of Japan mixed in with every other Internet user. As a spammer - how do you reach that market without knowing specifically who these people are and with the bare minimum of expense? Easy, send lots of emails to everyone.”
the real question that i am sure alot of people are asking is what U.S. ISP’s are doing to really combat this problem…. in the old days an isp would just net block the ip’s of spammers, but now with the sophistacation of spamming techniques and email spoofing it seems like a never ending battle to combat the daily deluge of crap email from spammers….. hell i must have won the UK lotterty at least 30 times in the last 3 months! LOL…………..
