How Spammers Earn Money?


Just this morning, I cleared my Spam folders, and I get thousands of spam emails, and after many years of using email and seeing how persistent spammers are, I wonder, is spamming profitable? how much do they earn?

The attractive part for the spammers is that the costs are extremely low. There are lots of databases with leaked e-mail addresses available. So even when only a small fraction of the recipients fall for it and the scammer only makes a limited amount of money per victim, it can still be highly profitable.

For the top groups, Spam is extremely profitable.

A lot of them were commissioned to spam knockoff viagra pills, or other pharmaceuticals and they take a % of all conversions. Hundreds of millions in total/yearly.

Other spam is outright scams as well or efforts by cybercrime groups to recruite money mules etc.

So I suppose it depends what type of spam you're referring to but as an whole in cybercrime its one of the oldest and most profitable.
