The mysteries of spam
Having just deleted a ton of spam emails, I wondered why are they always about body part enlargements, other sexual performance enhancers and financial scams? Why don’t people try to sell normal less dubious products or services this way?
I think this says something about the economics of spam and the type of people who respond to spam, but I’m not quite sure what.

12% of people who receive spam actually buy things.
guess you don’t need manhood enlargement then :)
I don’t know if all of them are actually advertisements, some of them might be phishing scams or something of that nature. I know some viruses set themselves up as an email spammer, maybe when people go the link they get infected with the virus too.
