  menace.

Definition of Spam

• The term spam is internet slang for unsolicited
  commercial mails or unsolicited junk mails. Some
  people also hold the opinion that spam is an
  abbreviation for stupid, pointless, annoying
  mail.
• These types of e-mails are generally used by
  anti-social elements for phishing, money
  laundering, and easy financial loans schemes,
  among others.
• Quick get rich schemes, Nigerian scams, quick
  weight loss pills, breast enhancement pills,
  pirated software, instant legal remedies, and
  more are some of the other arrows that charlatans
  have in their quivers to cheat unsuspecting net
  users.
• Phishing is a widely prevalent and one of the
  most dangerous scam perpetrated by spammers.

• Perpetrators can get hold of your credit card
  number, bank account information, and other
  relevant passwords. Fraudsters indulging in such
  type of scams create fear and panic among
  consumers to elicit the desired information.
• One common example is a person receiving an
  e-mail from his bank stating that his security
  has been compromised and his account details,
  credit card number, internet banking password,
  and other information is required to verify
  whether he is the right person or not.
• The person in a state of panic gives all the
  personal information related to his bank account.
  This information is then used by tricksters to
  withdraw money from his account or commit other
  financial irregularities.

Modus Operandi of Spammers

• It must be noted that very few or no
  organizations of repute indulge in spamming. Next
  time you receive a message in e-mail that is
  directing you to the so called website of a
  Fortune 500 company, it should immediately set
  the alarm bell ringing.
• Despite all round effort by government agencies,
  internet service providers (ISPs) and IT
  companies, spam is a scourge that simply refuses
  to die or even slow down.
• This is understandable, as spam like junk mail
  entails a very low operating cost. Almost all the
  cost is born by the carrier and the receiver. The
  spammer does not contribute anything from his or
  her own pocket for the bandwidth tied up in the
  delivery of spam.

• Spamming is very much like shooting in the dark.
  Since spammers do not have to bear any cost of
  sending these bogus messages, they do not put any
  effort in verifying the email addresses of people
  to whom they may be sending spam.
• They just collect the addresses from the net, buy
  it from somewhere, or use special software called
  bots to scour the website and find addresses for
  them. It is also not uncommon for spammers to
  generate thousands of their own e-mail addresses.
• As a result, a lot of e-mails bounce. This though
  does not deter the spammers, as they are willing
  to send out thousands of e-mails. This is done in
  the hope that they may draw in their net a few
  unsuspecting or gullible consumers, who they can
  milk for all they are worth.
• Another common trick used by spammers is to
  entice you to open the email account by making
  the subject line alluring and attention grabbing.
  An offer of transferring millions of dollars in
  your account or a scheme of getting your money
  double in one year can make some people pretty
  excited.

• Once you open the e-mail account, you are asked
  for certain personal information and some money
  upfront to carry out the necessary paperwork.
• People who fall prey to such scam realize over
  time to their horror that it is a gamble where
  they can continue playing without any hope ever
  of winning anything.
• Under such circumstances, the effort of people
  who launched the spam free search engine Blekko
  in to the market must be lauded. This search
  engine was launched for the sole purpose of
  dealing with the menace of spam, so that innocent
  net users are not victimized.

Conclusion

• People lose their identity, their hard earned
  money, and sometimes even their life due to the
  various frauds perpetrated by spammers.
• A new search engine Blekko can be highly
  effective against the scourge, as it uses
  sophisticated algorithms that expunge from its
  search results websites that use spam or may be
  suspected of using some unscrupulous means to
  increase their traffic.
