Spammers are in it for the money. So they send spam. The thing is....for
anyone to profit from the spam there has to be somewhere to go to spend the
money. Either a website, email address, phone number, etc. Someone has to
collect some money. I'm not understanding why the spammer can't be caught.
To stay in business (to keep sending spam) there has to be some money made
by the spammer. Or he would quit doing it. And there has to be a transaction
by someone, somewhere. There's the arrest. There's the link. What's the
problem?
It takes time and money to get the government to act. Few people have
the time and money to do this.
The cases where spammers are caught and arrested (which does happen),
it's only the spammers who have been stupid enough to spam in certain
jurisdictions or who have managed to get targeted by Microsoft, AOL,
or another big company.
Spam is a multi-billion dollar problem. But it's only a small irritant
to the average Internet user. Governments have other crimes to worry
about, such as murder, robbery, kidnapping.
