Do you think spammers are just a nuisance?
An Israeli firm called Blue Security had interesting spam-fighting techniques, until spammers shut it down with illegal attacks.
The spammers sent floods of data to overload Blue Security's computers. The spammers also caused some collateral damage to bystanders.
Spammers are not pests like telemarketers. Spammers are criminals willing to disable parts of the Internet. If you buy anything from a spammer you are supporting crime and giving spammers the means to threaten everyone's security further.
Don't buy from spammers. Always remember the old saying (hey, it's old by Internet standards): "If it's spam, it's a scam"
