please wfg stop ordering and reordering! How Spam Generates Money A security flaw on a spammer's Web site has exposed a log of orders of penis-enlargement pills to public view. The info showed that, over four weeks, some 6,000 people placed orders for the pills at some $50 per bottle for a gross income of roughly half a million dollars. Do the math to see why spammers are harder to squash than cockroaches. An insider from the company that owns the Web site, Amazing Internet Products, tipped Wired about the exposed log files, which also showed the numerous complaints from the spam recipients. Wired marvels at the fact that many people who should have known better were undaunted by the fact that the order site was not encrypted and contained no contact information for the company. Salon also covered Amazing Internet Products, and uncovered an association with a young neo-Nazi who turned to spam in the late '90s. If this weren't all so depressingly real, it would surely be the stuff of screaming tabloid headlines. Wired: wired.com Salon: salon.com
