Spam And Its Types

Spamming refers to the act of sending bulk copies of the same or other irrelevant messages to internet users who otherwise would not have chosen to receive it. This act is also simply known as spam. It is mainly practiced for promoting skeptical products, untrustworthy services and get-rich-quick schemes. E-mail spamming is the most popular form of spamming and is frequently used as the sender needs to bear only a minimal amount of cost while sending bulk messages, mostly internet charges.
E-mail spam is also known as junk e-mail i.e. it's a subset of spam that involves nearly identical messages sent to numerous recipients by e-mail. A common synonym for spam is Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE) and the definitions of spam usually include the aspects that email is unsolicited and sent in bulk.
