Spam for Viagra, Cialis and Levitra is on the decline
Good news: e-mail spam for the erectile dysfunction medications Viagra, Cialis and Levitra is finally on the decline — apparently because consumers are wising up to these scams.
According to Microsoft research:
Last year the amount of e-mails for sexual medications made up around 30 percent of all spam e-mails; however, this year that figure has dropped to under 10 percent.
There is only one reason why this is happening, and that is because spammers are not getting returns on their investment, which probably is due to men becoming wiser and more wary about replying to these types of e-mails.
We’ve covered the problem of Viagra spam previously (including Viagra holiday spam!) It’s good to know that people are beginning to listening.

An article printed by The Independent UK mentioned that over 50% of all tablets sold on the Internet are counterfeit or generic versions – terrifying, but true statistic!
