4 of 14 - Why do people send Spam?

Spam is the electronic equivalent of junk email.  People send Spam in order to sell products and services or to promote an email scam.  Some Spam is purely ideological, sent by purveyors of thought.  The bulk of Spam is intended, however, to draw traffic to web sites or to sell other money making schemes.  Unlike junk mail in your physical mailbox, Spam does not abate if it is unsuccessful.  When marketing departments send junk mail at a considerable expense, without success, they generally cease, or try a different sales pitch.  Spam on the other hand can be entirely unsuccessful, but the large number of wannabe spammers waiting in the wings ensures that we will continue to receive lots of it.

Spammers go to considerable effort to thwart recipients' attempts to stop spam email.  They specifically design their emails to bypass your email spam filter.  This can be shown by using special characters like '@' rather then the letter 'A' in words though the spam email.
