I just got some spam that is from a company that "specializes in the recovery and supply of assets such as generators, boilers, chillers, and transformers." They bill themselves as a scrap and salvage company.
Umm... I have no need for any of those services - and why would they think I do? I mean, how many people can they possibly expect to need those services? How much profit can they really expect to make from sending out those bulk spam emails?
If you're going to send me spam, at least send me something I can use. Like, right now, I can't find my manicure kit. Right now, an email offering to send someone over to search for it would be welcomed.
Nope... They send me spam about recovering boilers and generators.
It's like marketing has it all wrong. The only Google ad I've ever seen that interested me was one that tried to sell me barn doors. I'd have been more interested, except I already have barn doors.

Yes, but how profitable is it? Given that I've only seen that one once, I'd wager it's not too profitable. Who the fuck thought it would be?!?
Most spam campaigns are done with purchased, theoretically targeted, email lists. They often also just pay for the entire thing to be done on their behalf. Well, it's retarded. I bet they get exactly zero customers from it.

I have no idea bud. Some people have more money than sense.
