Who Am I?

I am 22 years old.

I live in an apartment in the city with my girlfriend.

I am an agnostic and follow no faith.

My likes include music, running, and computers.

I am a spammer.

Yes, in my spare time I send 10 to 20 million spam e-mails a week. In fact, there s a strong likelihood that you have received at least one spam e-mail from me. I am not the first spammer nor will I be the last. I am one of many, a small part in the faceless and anonymous community known as spammers.

I am sure you hate the idea of me, and loathe the e-mail you receive from me and my kind. The e-mails that constantly ask you to extend your manlihood, or invite you to a new, crude pornographic site, which then invade and litter your in-box, becoming a chore to remove simply because of the sheer volume you receive.

This is my story, my chance to tell the world how I became who I am and why, and to shed light on the whole subject of e-mail spam. I ll take you inside the Spam Cartel, deep inside the life of a spammer, showing real examples and techniques used to send spam, including how e-mail addresses are obtained. I want you to understand how a spammer works and why I choose to work in one of the most hated industries in the world.
