SPAM KILLS.
External link:
Have you ever seen one of those spams that says that the deposed leader of Nigeria wants to pay you millions of dollars to help move some money out of the country? Well, some Czech person who got taken in by the scam just assassinated the Nigerian consul to the Czech Republic after being taken in by the scam, and not being able to get his money back via the Nigerian consulate.
While I, of course, abhor murder, I do hope this helps to show people both that you should never do business with a spammer, and also that spam is not a harmless nuisance. For my part, I get over one thousand different spam emails every single day, and that number is rising rapidly. I once tried unsubscribing myself, but that only made the problem much, much worse. I spend hours dealing with it each week, and I have to pay my employees hundreds of dollars to sit and delete their spam, too. It's outrageous! And I'm just one guy who never even answers these spams. People are losing their life savings to scams like these every day.
How many more people have to die before we address this global problem?
