Email spam is illegal activity which seems to annoy everyone. Eventough email spam  has actually landed people in jail, the practice continues to thrive. Why is that?  And more importantly, who’s responsible for feeding this breed?

Now, honestly, I’ve never heard anyone claim that they’ve made purchases via unsolicited spam emails. In fact, I’ve never heard anyone admit to even clicking on their emails-  But someone must be feeding this spamming breed or they would be dying,  not thriving!

I receive SPAM emails literally every few minutes. Most of them are caught in my Spam filter where I go daily to simply delete it.  When I went in to perform my “daily deleting of email bogging spam” today, this is what I found….

257 emails in my spam folder in less than 48 hours! YUK.  I don’t know about you, but I don’t see a thing there that would make me want to click!

Recently I forgot to delete these scuzzy items for a few days and I wound up with a whopping 5000 emails in there! Now, that is ALOT of spam! I wish I had gotten a snapshot of that before I reved up my delete finger, but I was just too ticked off to think of that at the time.

Of course, sometimes the spam filter doesn’t recognize spam as spam (so who’s perfect?).  So, each morning I am graced with presence of  spam in my InBox as well,  which I must wade through and ‘trash’ before I can get to the good/important stuff.  This is what my unpurged email trash looks like at this time…

Honestly, do you see anything there that you would click on? Surely NOT!

I never click on this junk, Mike never clicks on this junk, we’ve taught our employees and our kids to NEVER click on this junk. So, if it’s not us, and it’s not you (surely it’s not you!) - then who is this breed of email spammers feeding off of?

PLEASE, Before you click on any unsolicited email - please consider that by doing so you really are feeding this annoying and unseemly breed of spammers. My advice is rev up that delete finger and just trash that spam!
