Surprisingly many has purchased from spam

Security company Marshall has made a research regarding to spam.

According to that research, 29 percent of Internet users have purchased goods from spam emails which is almost unbelievable.

Most popular items have been eg. sexual enhancement pills (fake Viagra etc.), software, adult material and luxury items.

Marshall Vice President says below more about this issue. Especially interesting is that people purchase illegitimate products:

“Spam has become a mainstream means of advertising for restricted or counterfeit goods due to strong demand from Internet users. Many of us don’t consider spam to be a legitimate marketing practice, but the products that people are buying aren’t legitimate. There is a huge market for cheap goods that are otherwise expensive or hard difficult to come by via legitimate means”
