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?
 
Um, what's the Outlook question?

I was wanting to know the latest 'outlook' on catching spammers and why more isn't done by someone to catch these guys? Or are they doing jobs that no one else will do? Is this a plot by big business, the same as illegal immigration is? Thanks a lot.

..... Yes, it's a plot by big business, as well as the Triad and the
Scientologists, to control the worlds email networks using spam. Each email
has embedded in it a secret tracking ident that would allow someone with the
right tools to know the exact latitude and longitude the email was sent
from, the result of a secret program by the UN, which is really just a shell
corporation in and of itself for the Canadian Government (which is the one
true power in this world).

All that said: 'microsoft.public.outlook', if you had read it for maybe a
post or two, is about the Microsoft product called Outlook (or as it is now
Microsoft Office Outlook). I'd recommend
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.conspiracy/topics for what you'd like to
discuss.

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.

Sat down to watch the Daily Show not more than a couple hours after sending
the message and turned to the little woman and said 'Darnit! I should have
used the Illuminati instead of the Triad. Now I'll have a Chinese crime
ring after me...'

I think the Mason's are just a front. It's the Shriner's in the little cars
you need to worry about.

No kidding. They're going to overthrow governments by way of starting tiny
little traffic jams everywhere.
