Responding to Spam => MORE SPAM
posted by scubacuda on Wednesday February 12, @11:40PM
from the forward-all-spam-to:uce@ftc.gov dept.
News Wired has an amusing article confirming what many of us have already known: spammers take the e-mail addresses of those who respond to spam and then sell them to other spammers. (Spammers with "legitimate" business are sometimes unaware that the recipient hadn't requested their sales pitch because the spammer who sold them the e-mail addresses had assured them the recipients wanted the information.)
