I've never bought a product from the spammer but I have gone out and found the same product from someone good enough not to spam me or a forum I read....

I don't understand computer-based commerce. I have a feeling we are heading into another great "techno crash" comparable to the end of the first dot-com frenzy (remember when Yahoo traded at $120 a share and Netscape split four times in three weeks?)

Spammers send out e-mails and get paid by the number of hits generated by the enclosed links.
Advertisers place ads on websites and pay site owners per generated hit

But is this all one big circle jerk with people trading money but little commerce is generated?

I guess if the advertisers are happy then there's little to worry about. I just can't remember, though, of anytime when I heard of people sitting around talking about all the great deals they found clicking from web ad to web ad to spam e-mail.

I mean, has anyone EVER bought Costa Rican property because of an e-mail?

Never any skate items, but I've now gone from Hedwig to Johnny Holmes. You gotta trust me on this, you CAN believe everything you read in an email and on the web.

It's amazing how many people will actually click on the link from a spammer.

We saw some stats here at our web company a while ago and its nuts! If you e-mail/spam 3 million people you get SOME people buying your stuff, so it works!

thats the real truth. spam DOES work. i know a guy who used to run aol phishing bots and he had 10-20 people give him their whole credit card, sin number, everything. my mom asked me about the first nigerian prince bank account scam. people are ####### gullible!
