Spamming is the act of sending unsolicited Emails. These Emails always are trying to get to the recipient to buy something or send money. Usually these products are unwanted if not plain junk despite the claims of wealth and fame, like the now famous MLM scams. Included in spam are the ever-popular chain letters.
Spammers are often the product of companies who target every email address they can possibly find with an endless stream of unsolicited junk mail. These people are the 1990's version of the door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman who hasn't seen a bar of soap in a week.
Those who forward chain letters and those who spam are not only doing something very rude and annoying, but are also in violation of the law (18 U.S.C. 1302 and 18 U.S.C. 1304).
We are sufficiently concerned about spamming that we do not offer your Email address to anyone for any reason. We designed a classified ad system that would work WITHOUT displaying an Email address so the spammers can't capture them from a web page.
Bottom line. Spamming stinks.
