It's the big numbers. If 1% of the people buy something from a message
which has been spammed 1 million times.. It still is a nice figure of
10.000 people buying something.

Considering spamming is relatively cheap (hear say, can't verify :P) and
easily done... just a 1% response is enough to keep those people up and
running.

Ok, so maybe I'm of the mark with my 1% guesstimate, but still, the
secret lies in the numbers.

What I did find funny from that message though, that it came from a
yahoo address. Ofcourse, it could be faked (haven't dug into the
mailheaders yet), but still, it shows a nice double standard by yahoo.
For some reason my mail address keeps bouncing because the domain gets
blacklisted, but alas, yahoo is sending/relaying their own spam, whilst
prohibiting messages reaching me.
