Impressive article....
More than half of the two trillion e-mail messages sent in 2006 are likely to be spam......
about 200 spammers worldwide are responsible for about 80% of all spam in Europe and North America. There are an estimated 2,300 spammers in the US......
According to recent news reports, a well-organized spammer can send between 60 and 70 million e-mails a day (two billion a month). On average, there is a positive response to 0.05% of those e-mails, potentially delivering 36,000 e-mail leads per day to the companies that use spam.
It seems that spam is a profitable business, and I think that if people learned to stop buying from spammers, then it will stop to exist as a problem.
