December's Spam Count: 2690
It's a new record, 2690 pieces of junk mail beat the previous record of 2541 set in August.
Interestingly, before then, December 2005 was the record holder.
Interpreting spam as a desperate attempt to make money in time for the Christmas holidays. That's an idea. Then what explains the increased activity in August? More kids trying out scams while bored in the summer before going back to school?
Perhaps.
