That is what which is shocking. The world where making thousands of email is absolutely free what can one gain by selling these emails. I too dont know what exactly it is sold for and to whom but i fot to know in the last few days that spammers get email ids and sell thousand s of id to big companies or those who want the products to be advertised at those email.
Now when we see the reason it certainly look like intersteing and we have to believe that for advertising where millions of dollars are spent and if a big multinational company can reach customer personally by email and that too free of cost then you will realize why would to purchase these emails from spammers.

There are many ways one can steal your id. In this age where hackers are stealing password then stealing just ids is not a great job for those. Other than that they get it from others spammers and exchange their stock, They get it from common chat rooms and there could be many more ways but then you need to contact a spammer who can tell you everything

They wont be sold unless you use it to sign up somewhere without reading the privacy thing.... Best thing to do is to keep an extra "spamming mail" just in case.

Some call it leads. They claim they are selling leads. Some claim they are leads provider company. In network marketing industry, we often encounter so many of them, leads providers. Some sell legit leads (they sell opt-in email addresses), while some are bogus. Some of us buy into it them thinking they will be worth the money spent. Some are scammed, while others succeed. Those who are smart enough, they only buy leads from trusted and proven leads providers. Some network marketing companies generate their own leads by creating opt-in sales pages where prospects opt-in their email address. Then the network marketing companies sell the email addresses (called leads) to members of the downline team. They call it "leads program". Some of us find it helpful, while some consider it a waste of time and money.
