Of course it does. Is there any other kind of spam?The number can't be correct, however. I have NEVER even heard a secondhand story about someone who has attempted to buy anything sold in a spam email. I've talked to thousands of users, including lots of extremely stupid ones, and never has one told me they were waiting for their order to show up, or that they were scammed, or that they were even fooled for a minute.
I always wondered why spam was still around... I assumed it was a terrible, fruitless form of scamming and advertising that only worked on the very old and the very stupid... I mean, what moron falls for spam?I weep for humanity.

This is the main reason I don't use majority to determine what is right or good.

Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
