Hello: I am always being spammed by people offering for sale illegal pirated and cracked versions of expensive payware, illegal cable TV descramblers, fraudulent insurance policies, and child pornography.
I never get spammed by people offering to sell stolen goods, illegal guns and silencers, and other illegal weapons and destructive devices, and illegal drugs and moonshine whiskey. Dealing in any of the contraband mentioned in the two paragraphs above can get a person into just as much trouble with the law. The brother of a friend of mine was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary just for making and selling illegal cable TV descramblers. Maybe the reason why I am getting so much spam advertising the types of contraband listed in the first paragraph is that perhaps the spammers think that people are highly unlikely to report trafficking in the types of contraband listed in the first paragraph. As far as the law is concerned, trafficking in any of the illegal commodities mentioned above is just as bad and damnable. It would certainly seem that advertising contraband for sale over the internet would result in a much higher likelihood of getting caught than by advertising it on the street to persons who seem to be shady characters and easy marks who are actively shopping for it. I cannot understand why contraband is being promoted by spam. As far as I am concerned, I just hate being spammed, regardless of whatever they are selling, and regardless of whether their merchandise is legal or illegal. Opinions, comments, anyone?
