Mind boggling. Baffling. Insane. Who generates this stuff, and more importantly, why?

Of course, I've put on my spam filter, which it appears to me, has the same effectiveness as the lint filter in my dryer. Barely adequate.

What could possibly be the odds of ANYONE purchasing, forwarding, using, or wanting any of the products in these emails. In the past two days, just to see what was coming into my in box,  I've marked as junk 207 items. That's 100 of these a day. (Clearly receiving these junk items didn't diminish my cracker jack math skills.)

They tend to be divided into 3 categories. There's the younger, softer, smoother, unlined, skinnier, toned new me, variety. The insurance, home mortgage, car payments, language learning, and investment ideas group. And, lastly, the ones that are my personal favorites, send us your PIN number and we can deposit the zillion dollars that we are holding for you in an escrow account.

So back to the original question. Why? 

If I could understand how money is made by the spammer I think, no make that know, that I would seriously consider participating. Indeed, if I received an email explaining to me how I can make money doing this (spammer are you paying attention here?), I would  most definitely read it. 

And then I'd send it on, and on and on and…
