Spammers said, "Give me a dollar, and I'll leave."
Russian spammers are mastering a new type of petty fraud. They offer Internet users to pay off their intrusiveness, paying only $ 1 for future rest. To do this, open a special account in one of the banks in Rostov-on-Don.
Experts are of the opinion that such proposals are not to be believed, since they are just a trick of the blackmailers, which will probably be followed by a number of attempts to “divide for money”. “This is tantamount to a situation where a person comes up to you on the street and says:“ Give me 30 rubles, and I'll leave, ”” illustrates Mikhail Ushakov, head of the Yandex press service.
“Novye Izvestiya” describes the working scheme of fraudsters: first, an intensive bombardment of advertising spam is carried out - a person may have about 50 such letters per day. And after there are reports that there is a panacea for evil: “The simplest operation, and you will forget about advertising forever,” say spammers. “Forget,” as noted, can be after transferring one dollar to the bank or virtual account of the sender.

It is obvious that, having collected a tribute, spammers will not go out of their dubious path and will not stop making money on unfair advertising. Surely spam will regularly come in the future - except from other addresses. At the same time, the blackmailers risk nothing by making the described attempts at earning money.
Even from the point of view of the law, blackmail cannot be called a simple scheme, lawyers say. Since the corpus delicti can be seen only if the requested amount is more than 100 rubles. Thus, the litter makers have found the prospect of not only big, but also quite legitimate earnings.
