“The Real Spam Kings” MSN Article on 10 Spammers
Posted on | November 1, 2008 | 1 Comment
So, checking my e-mail today, MSN had an article with a pretty catchy title–”Will the Real Spam King Please Stand Up?”. Spam has been absolutely ridiculous for one of my e-mail addresses and has forced me to create additional e-mail addresses just to make sure I can keep up with important e-mails. Some of these guys were making up to $750,000/month through spam e-mails. DAMN! And here I am working hard with my domaining business. Ridiculous!
