Few months back, India was the least spammy among BRIC countries and as per a new report, India has beaten China and has moved up the ladder!

List of Spammy Countries

list of spammy countries and their contribution to the worldwide spam:

  1. Russian Federation 11.92%
  2. United States 9.36%
  3. Brazil 7.48%
  4. Turkey 5.43%
  5. Columbia  5.34%
  6. Argentina  4.96%
  7. India 4.26%
  8. China 3.39%
  9. Spain 2.69%
  10. Republic of Korea 2.57% – as per Trend Micro

Interestingly, 76% emails originating from India is a spam!

I, somehow don’t have 100% faith in these numbers as they are reflective of each report’s sample size (till august, India was below China (6th place) and now the equation is reversed – how does one explains that?)

What’s your take?

      I believe that somebody has “OUTSOURCED” the spamming job to some innovative BPO in India :)

      I am surprised india is on number 7. I think it should have been no.1 for spamming. We own a classified site. The Online Job Scam is in such a boom that posters keep on posting 100′s of spam ads with different email ids of which most of them are scams.

      We have recently banned home based jobs category and are now filtering ads.
