Eight truths about your role in the war against spam

If you buy from spammers, you are part of the problem.
Legislation alone cannot solve the spam problem. When there are profits to be made, spammers will find a way to spam.
Money you spend on products from spammers is reinvested in sending more spam.
You vote with your dollars. Purchasing from spammers keeps them in business.
Purchasing just one product from a spammer bankrolls them with enough money to spam another million people.
If spamming becomes unprofitable, spammers will become ex-spammers.
Buy products and services from permission email marketers only.
Share the word. Friends don't let friends buy from spammers

How spammers stay in business:

Step 1:	The spammer sends 10 million spam emails offering a product for sale for $100. Total cost to the spammer: $500.
Step 2:	10 people buy the product. That's $1,000 in revenue.
Step 3:	The spammer fills the orders at a cost of $250.
Step 4:	The spammer pockets $250 as profit.
Step 5:	The spammer uses the remaining $500 to email another 10 million people.

How to stop the cycle:

Don't buy from spammers. Interrupt step 2.
This makes spamming unprofitable.
