No one likes Spam...do they?

Why is spam so dangerous? Spam is a nuisance most of all and an abuse of the electronic privilege and usually is fraudulent and deceitful. Spam poses a great threat to internet and email users because it floods mail boxes with unwanted junk. Some spam can even contain viruses or links to pages containing viruses or malicious software known as Malware that can infect and corrupt your PC. This Malicious software can also obtain personal information such as credit card information, credit card numbers, and your current internet activity that then sends this information to unwanted sources. Spam can pose itself as just another email from a friend or a company you do business with that is offering you a great deal and then lead you into something totally different. Spam also poses a great threat to younger internet users such as teens and young adults. Spam can offer up a link to maybe something they would be innocently interested in and when a link is clicked the user ends up at an adult site or something they would not normally have been able to access of would want to access. The internet is big place full of a lot of evil people looking to take advantage of new users and the general mass of stupid web surfers who are like big eyed sheep. There are always people looking to make a quick buck off the stupid uneducated out there and spam offers them an excellent place to do so. Spam is just one of the new electronic evils present to us in the new millennium and there are sure to be more to come, but with education we can control and end the abuse of the internet.
