You miss the point. Who is the spammer?She, who merely sends the email, or
They who pay her for it, or They who make it profitable for those who spam?
She's not losing *any* business, she's fishing. She expects a return of 1
to 750,000, and loses exactly zero if she pisses people off. Imagine that.
And if she gets it, she's paid bonus the company who hired her to begin
with.... because the spam worked, and someone made it profitable for
someone to do so.
