    If we all make sure no one clicks on any spam message whatsoever, these people will make no more profit and they will all close down, making the world spam free.


    To achieve this we need to communicatie this message to everyone. I think email would be ideal for this, because spam is sent by email as well.


    So someone should come up with a plan to send billions and billions of emails to make sure every person in the world knows they should ignore spam.


    God I am so smart.

    @Herman: I agree. Let's start an email telling everyone not to open emails! We need a hook though. How about we tell them to open the email by saying they are getting money? :)

    Maybe in 20 years a politician will run on an anti-spam platform.

    Sounds like responsible ISPs need to be more proactive and refuse to route traffic from known Spam havens. The Feds aren't doing much, and if this sort of operation can thrive in the USA of all places, then the authorities clearly don't care enough to do anything about it.
