What Happens When You Reply To ALL of Your Spam
Jul 09 2008
“For Tracy Mooney, a married mother of three in Naperville, Ill., the decision to abandon cyber-sense and invite e-mail spam into her life for a month by participating in a McAfee experiment was a bit of a lark. The idea of the Spammed Persistently All Month (S.P.A.M.) experiment — which fittingly started on April Fool’s Day — was to have 50 volunteers from around the world answer every spam message and pop-up ad they got. Mooney was game, especially since McAfee was giving a free PC to all participants. She told her story to Network World.”

That experiment was just madness, I would have never lasted. Im curious to see what McAfee plans to do with the outcome of this experiment or what the main objective was, was it just to see what happens when you actually answer spam messages???
