Or... maybe that site is a scam. LOL. Just kidding. I've actually done that in the past prior to YM having the ability to report spammers. But I'm glad to see there is a group trying to waste the time of spammers and scammers.
The biggest reason for spam is the number of unprotected and underprotected computers connected to the internet, that have been infected and are now part of zombie networks. Quite often, people do not even realize their computer is infected and the hacker is utilizing the persons high speed internet connection to spam the heck out of the rest of us.. including sending infected emails to try and infect even more computers. Quite often, people have full security suites like Norton, McAfee, etc., and think they are safe... but if they download something intentional like some junk file sharing software, screensavers, etc., and then when they use it, the security suite asks them if they are sure they want to allow this new software to access the internet, they say YES and voila... another zombie computer. Until everyone takes responsibility to learn how to secure their computers, things will never change with spam. The scammers can usually be avoided by using common sense.
