Whats the Problem with SPAM?

What is the problem with SPAM? The better question is what is not the problem with SPAM? No one ever wants it, most of the time it’s full of scammers trying to get your finical information. It’s kind of like the cousin in the family who know one wants around but never goes away. SPAM has been on the internet so long most people don’t know what it’s like to not get SPAM in their inbox’s. On a legal perspective SPAM is not illegal it’s just annoying. Most SPAM is harmless it’s the people behind the SPAM that are causing the issues one of the easiest scam artist get peoples information is by posing as SPAM that is selling a product. The products can be anything from cheap laptops to penus enlargement pills human nature is to always want something for nothing so they put in their credit card information to receive these items. Sometime people do receive the items they pay for but get their identities stolen in the process or their credit card information stolen. Then the other people who get nothing but their identities and credit cards stolen, like drug sales SPAM scams is a multimillion dollar industry. That more and more people fall into this scam every day. Most companies who get founded and convicted of SPAM scam are done so though the FTC, “FTC over the operation, which encouraged people to click through to websites that allegedly used false claims to peddle prescription drugs, as well as "male enhancement" and weight-loss pills.” When SPAM gets truly out of control it is not gone unnoticed the FTC will get many complaints “The FTC received more than 3 million complaints about the spam and related websites, illustrating the Scale of the operation.” Needless to say SPAM is a part of our internet lives, the best thing is to not give in to the allure of its promises of SPAM once people do this the SPAM scammers will stop as well, do to there will be no more money to be made.
