Aunque, aún, hoy su peso es menor a otras categorías su
distribución indiscriminada es un grave problema.
El spam ofreciendo contenido o servicios para adultos ya
concentra, como mínimo, un 8% de todos los mensajes no
solicitados. Según una investigación realizada por BrightMail,
en este último año, los mensajes con este contenido, que hoy
inundan nuestros buzones, han crecido en un 450%, mucho más
que otras categorías de productos que de forma generalizada
han utilizado este sistema para llegar a los usuarios.
Estos mensajes suelen ser enviados de manera totalmente
indiscriminada. Las principales empresas de este sector,
acumulan direcciones (extrayéndolas de chats, foros,
newsgroups o páginas Web, o comprándolas a empleados
desleales) sin ningún conocimiento de su propietario, por lo
que fácilmente niños o adolescentes pueden ser destinatarios
de estos mensajes no apropiados para su edad.
Venta de productos y servicios, los reyes
Sin embargo, la inmensa mayoría de los mensajes publicitarios
que recibimos corresponden a la comercialización de productos
y servicios (27%) o de productos financieros (20%).
Las ofertas de productos informáticas, antiguamente los más
populares, concentran un 13% y por último, aquellos
relacionados con estafas o negocios piramidales un 6% del
total.
La "estafa de Nigeria"
Esta es una muestra de un email recibido
en la redacción de noticiasdot.com correspondiente a la
llamada estafa de Nigeria. Por supuesto quien caiga en
esta trampa perderá totalmente el dinero entregado sin
posibilidad de reclamar ante nadie su devolución |
Dear.Cortes ,
I am Barrister Femi Adams Solicitor.
I am the Personal Attorney to Mr Ali Said Binzagr,A
foreigner who used to work with shell development company
in Nigeria.
On the 4th of september 2001, my client, his wife And
their three children travelled to United State of America
for shoping and promised to come back on fortnight.
However, After the fortnight i discovered that they were
involued in September 11th terrorist attack.
Since then I have made several enquiries to their embassy
to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has
also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any
member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted
you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money
and property left behind by my client before they
get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account
valued at about $12 million dollars has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated within the next ten official working days.
since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the the
relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to
presentyou as the next of kin of the deceased since you
are from the same country so that the proceeds of this
account valued at $12 million dollars can be paid to you
and then you and me can share the money.
55% to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses
or tax as your government may require,I have all necessary
legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we
may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see
this dealt through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. Your telephone number, Your fax and Your full name is
needed.
Please get in touch with me by my email to enable us
discuss further.
