[ OT ] Anyone know what the deal is with worthless spam? [Fwd:Epson Inkjet Cartridges From 5.99]

[Ken Keefe <kaje@digitalfamily.org>]

So, I understand why people spam with addresses to websites that sell
you stuff. However, has anyone noticed a rise in spam that includes
worthless or broken links? I have attached an example of what I am
talking about... They seem to be trying to sell me inkjet cartridges,
but when I go to their website, like someone interested in buying
something would, the website is unavailable for one reason or another.
Does anyone see the logic behind this? 

Usually I am going to these sites to email requests to be removed from
their list, but this type of thing happens pretty frequently. 

I just don't see the point of spam if there is no way for their
customers to find them. Its like someone putting a commercial on TV for
their car dealership but not telling them where they are located or what
there phone number is and so on...

Sorry if this was a rant, but I just don't get it.......

Ken
