Spamming is economically smart, as it advertises at almost no cost.If you make 10 dollars by advertising with 10 emails, people think if they send millions of emails, they will get a million dollars, and they get these emails through illegal activities.

E-mail and other forms of spamming have been used for purposes other than advertisements. Many early spams were religious or political. A number of evangelists have spammed Usenet and e-mail media with preaching messages. A growing number of criminals are also using spam to perpetrate various sorts of fraud, and in some cases have used it to lure people to locations where they have been kidnapped, held for ransom, and even murdered.
