Why is it that most e mail SPAMMERS are selling Viagra?

Question

Seems strange.....

Answer 1

as long as it is viagra, i wouldnt worry, if it is misspelt, then it is a virus program, i get them as Vkagra, Vfagra etc, all from different addresses.



i delete these now, without opening them.



hope this helps

Answer 2

by no skill, by no skill open any e-mail that's no longer from a widely used contact. All e-mails which aren't to any extent further out of your contacts must be thrown away with out establishing them. you need to be very strict with this. do no longer visit any courting or on-line friendship web pages besides. After some months you'll then develop right into a ghost on the internet. I obtain possibly one unsolicited mail mail of any form once each and every six months lately. On my different deepest account I extremely have not received one for over 3 years now, through sticking to those concepts.

Answer 3

I don't understand this - I never get spam. This morning I had an exciting email letting me know I have won a South African lottery, one from Barclays who were very anxious to protect my banking details, and a couple with some really great stocks and shares offers. You must just be unlucky.

Answer 4

because it's to do with sex-sex sells. They know some people will be sucked in to reply to their spams out of curiosity at least-there's the potential of a sale-because it's internet based they feel safe from the law-because most Viagra pills will not be the genuine artical ,the chances of them being persecuted are remote.

Answer 5

No idea. I get mass spam about email advertising with non-working links or about stocks and share prices. Don't see the point in it except to p!ss me off.



And to the guy above me, that would be targetted advertising. Spam isn't targetted, it's just sent willy-nilly hoping to hit the right people.

Answer 6

Its a ways of checking to see if your email address exists then they can sell the info or use it for scams. Some of these emails have images that come from websites so they get your IP address that ways and can use it to attack your computer. Some are scams to steal your money and others carry viruses.

Answer 7

The spammers monitor which web pages you are using and from that they figure out what your special needs and problems are. They send you email according to the marketing potential, where they think you are spending most of your money.



So for example, if you were browing web pages about pets, you would be getting a lot emails about selling to you pet food.



If you were browsing a lot of web pages about automobiles, you would be getting a lot of emails about selling to you cars, engine oil, windshield wiper fluid, and so on.



If you were browsing a lot web pages about stock market, you would be getting a lot of spam emails about investment advice, mutual funds, mortgages, and so on.



So most of your spam is about Viagra? Very interesting.

Answer 8

High demand for the product & it's something people like to buy privately. It even works for ladies! (It works differently, but it does work!)



It's very cheap to buy 'wholesale' and sell on at a massive profit.



Sex is always the best way to sell anything!
