addresses from websites，news groups and “chat rooms” where people send messages to each other.Most spam is sent by companies who are trying to get you to buy their products.Some of these are honest

sent by criminals who are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services they will not provide.They are only interested in stealing your money.When you answer their spam，you find you are
