Today I write about spam mails.
I keep one of my mail accounts as spam collector account and let spammers mail me their faked Viagra & Rolex watches then send report to “UCE spam@uce.gov“ which is division of US Office of commerce who is fighting against mostly US related spammers. As I noticed from spam headers, I see still now more than half spam originated from China. Chinese are the best spammer in the world. Congratulations! Chinese love to be the top! This still is improvement; a few years ago China Spam was even 75%! As the world economy worsens, the new faces on Spammer scene appeared: namely Kazakhstan, Austria, Sweden, Germany, Brazil and so on. It used to be spamming is done by poor both in money, job opportunities and moral such as Russia, Philippines, China, Mexico and USA. Now I see the idiots of richer countries like Sweden comes into the scene. It is maybe not Swedes at all; the spammer could be immigrants from traditional spam countries as I mentioned above to Sweden. Globalisation greets you. My impression is that there come less and less spam mails recently. This is because of better spam protection both from the provider side and end user side. The most important thing is that one shall never buy anything from spam shops. Secondly never click any buttons on spam mails. Thirdly join Spamcop.
