Thanks to idiots with credit cards, spam kingpins rake in $100,000's
a month
From
Tampa Bay Online's coverage of the spammer trial: As one of the world's
most prolific spammers, Jeremy Jaynes pumped out at least 10 million
e-mails a day with the help of 16 high-speed lines, the kind of Internet
capacity a 1,000-employee company would need. [..] In a typical month,
prosecutors said during the trial, Jaynes might receive 10,000 to 17,000
credit card orders, thus making money on perhaps only one of every 30,000
e-mails he sent out. But he earned $40 a pop, and the undertaking was
so vast that Jaynes could still pull in $400,000 to $750,000 a month,
while spending perhaps $50,000 on bandwidth and other overhead, McGuire
said. "When you're marketing to the world, there are enough idiots out
there" who will be suckered in, McGuire said in an interview.
