According to BBC NEWS Sex spam clogs summer in-boxes: "Pornographic spam has risen by almost 350% since June according to e-mail filter firm Clearswift." The article goes on: "Spammers appear to be purposefully increasing pornographic output during the summer months."
I wonder why spammers exist anyway. I once saw an interview with a spammer and apparently it's a profitable business. But if no one reads spam or buys the products/services then how can it be profitable? Well, it costs me money. I pay for Internet access and e-mail from my ISP and I have to spend my time deleting all the spam. It is my choice to spend this money because I have personal use for Internet access and e-mail. I don't spend it for other people to make a profit. It's not like my USPS mail box which I am required by law to have. None of my income goes to support that so let people send all the spam they want to that.
Of course, I've said all that before in another post. And I sent the same message to my Senator. No results, by the way. And nothing will happen soon, I'm sure. Just gotta keep deletin' away. While you are waiting with me for something to happen with this problem, visit Hormel's Spam and the Internet site to learn why spam is bad and SPAM is tasty. Then go here to get a SPAM letter opener!
