SPAM! SPAM! SPAM!

Quick Pix

Do you receive lots of junk email from people you don't know? You’ve probably seen an increase in the amount of “junk mail” which shows up in your email box. As more people use email, marketers are increasingly using SPAM to pitch their products and services. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products or get-rich-quick schemes. What do you think about spam? Whether you consider spam harmless or harmful, we’ve conducted a survey to find out some of your attitudes on the topic.

Males and females have different attitudes towards spam. Almost 50% of females are scared of spam because they think it might be dangerous to their computer, whereas males are not as concerned (35%). Actually more males (42%) compared to females (32%) think spam is annoying, but harmless. A small percentage of panelists (6%) are not concerned with spam at all.
