Why people like to spam by email?

I mean, that doesn't make any sense, the person receiving it can easily delete it and ban that person's email address. Isn't the person courting trouble?

My old email gets 100 email spams per day. :(
 
people spam over email because they want to catch unsuspecting people, mostly the computer novices, off guard and send something saying "You've won a million bucks! click here to claim it!" and it's just a link to their sponsor. Now why people do this, I dont know. Most sponsors have CGI scripts setup to monitor where hits are coming from so mostly spam is just to annoy the hell out of us, kinda like what you and Cyber do with your spam topics :D hehe

You mean Trenz and Cyber
They like e-mail spam because it costs them money to send it by regular mail but e-mail is free.

even they say if I've won a million bucks, i wouldn't believe them. I'll simply delete it.

Why people like to SPAM the boards: They want to be the top poster?

Thats what I intend to be

Like you'll ever get in front of HK or Phrozen. And please, this will be my last post to any of your useless spam threads, stop spamming.
