Americans are the top spammers !!!

Playfuls.com, a science and technology portal’s article says that United States accounts for 23.2 percent of world’s spam in second quarter of year 2006. The article also says that spamming is a crime or as an actionable tart via CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 in United States. I think that is why I find many people hiring freelancers from other countries to send large automated mails. I was in dilemma that why these people hire freelancers when this can be done without any particular software knowledge and there are lots of software and instructions are available widely on the net. Reading this article clears my doubt and many people are using these freelancers to send the spam, which is illegal in their county.

According to the article, below is the list of top 10 spammers.
• United States: 23.2 percent
• China (including Hong Kong): 20 percent
• South Korea: 7.5 percent
• France: 5.2 percent
• Spain: 4.8 percent
• Poland: 3.6 percent
• Brazil: 3.1 percent
• Italy: 3 percent
• Germany: 2.5 percent
• United Kingdom: 1.8 percent
• Taiwan: 1.7 percent
• Japan: 1.6 percent
• Others: 22 percent
