Never buy from spammers

Quite simply never, ever buy from spammers!

Email is cheap / free for them to send - so they only require a very, very small response - the problem is any response proves to them it is worthwhile continuing with.

The other problem is spam is often links to other cyber crimes - often they offer things like access to restricted pharaceutics or software for a fraction of it's list price. The problem is you enter your credit card details - are unlikely to ever see anything except a load of unauthorised charges on your credit card!!

Some normal companies get duped into sending spam - people advertise (usually via spam itself!) that they will send millions of emails for a very low cost and the offer seems just too good to pass up. Spammers even offer to sell lists of millions of email addresses and the software to harvest more and the software to send spam! Avoid at all cost!
