I voted 'not yet', but my husband isn't currently in need of Viagra :wink:

I will never buy anything from spam, because it irritates me so much. I hate the ones that pretend that you have joined their mailing list and you haven't. I just forward those straight onto aol spam reports.
What bugs me more than anything, is when you buy things off sites and they put you automatically onto there mailing list, then you just cannot get rid of them.

I'd probably say once - but I don't actually get much spam nowadays (maybe 3 a day)

The tactics used by people who SPAM just annoy me and SPAM does nothing to encourage me to buy, especially as I am happily married, not looking for an affair and we do not require viagra.
Mailwasher Pro is my friend and any SPAM I receive is reported.

I'd personally not buy anything because I percieve spam as being a a scam and therefore wouldn't risk losing my money.

I'd not buy anything off the back of a spam becuase of principle, no matter how much I was interested in a product.

I dont out of principle, but I recently went back to the first email a good supplier sent to me, and really, I suppose that was spam.

More than 10 percent of respondents have purchased something as a result of junk mail. Assuming that no one is trying to manipulate the numbers (I can't think why they would), this reveals immediately why we receive spam. Much as we may hate it and berate the senders, there are occasions on which it works.
