Penis size and spam

So much spam....

Is penis size really that big of a problem?

Each day, I get around 600 to 800 email. About 400 to 600 of it is spam that gets filtered. But I swear, about half of it is email providing solutions to penis size. Things brings up two questions:

1) Is there really that big of a market for penis enlargement?

and

2) How did they know? ;)

I agree. I'm a woman, so how they think that I even care about penis size is a wonder to me. When you add them to the spam list, they just invent another email address and keep going and going.

Maybe they had a look at their own penises, the spammers. And because of that concluded that all other men had small penises as well... ;-)

Considering that I don't have a penis.......

It's just amazing the stuff that they send out. The scary thing is- they must actually have *somebody* who responds, or they wouldn't keep emailing.....

Hey Draginol, perhaps you'd be interested in the last spam I got! (In comparison, I get /maybe/ 1 or 2 every other month - but I'm not complaining.)

It turns out that I can increase -my- breast size! NATURALLY! I admit.... I'm intrigued... ^_~

Indeed, apparently I need to increase my breast size too.

I was told that all of those penis-type emails don't start coming in until you visit those smut sites on the net. Where've YOU been??? =)

I heard on the radio that there was a drawing or something for a free penis enlargement online, and i guess over 3000 people registered within a matter of an hour! so maybe there is a big market.

or wait, was in within a few hours? not sure, but just imagine the lineup a free penis enlargement would get, it would be funny.

The reason why it's worth it is because these company sell these useless products for like $50-100/bottle. The distributors cost for these miracle cures is something like $3-5/bottle. So, they tell spammers that they'll give them $25-50 per referral. So, if these spammers send out 100,000 e-mail and like 1,000 (or 1%) responds, that dude has made $25,000-50,000 for just sitting at their computer and clicking.

I've seen some stats on these sorts of things and I'd have to say the reason these people do it is because there is BIIIGGGG money in products to, as was stated in an earlier post, help men who are insecure in their manhood..

Tech Cat,
I don't really think that would work because the people who are sending these messages use every trick in the book to forge the headers in the messages they send so tracing them would be difficult at best.

Anyway, thanks for the great laugh Draginol!!

Well, Tech Cat, the current anti-spam legislation that's passed congress gives the FCC the authority to implement a "Do Not Email" registry much like the national do not call list.

Unfortunately, it's a complete disaster in every other aspect of it - giving /way/ too many concessions to the marketers (such as making it impossible for anybody to actually -sue- a company.)

I'm pretty sore about this new law though - it also manages to give a direct slap in the face to each state, again, to the delight of marketers. It -specifically- takes away any state's right to pass or enforce their own anti-spam laws - so the new anti-spam law passed in California that a lot of people seem to like? It will be null and void if the new federal law goes into effect, and it (the federal one,) is a law with no teeth.

Nice bipartisan show of support for taking away states' rights!

I need to edit myself. It authorizes the /FTC/ to establish a no-email list - not the FCC.

LOL I get a whole bunch of those too: so much for TARGET mailouts.
Great chuckle.
Thanks!
