You mean they actually exist?
If nobody responded to spam emails, they would go away. But the fact is, there are enough takers to keep the them in business. Spammers claim that just one buyer per 10,000 emails sent is enough to justify the costs. This story from the Wall Street Journal covers that 10,000th guy, who truly must qualify as a spammer's wet dream. His name is Orlando Soto, and he can't wait to come home each day and pore through his daily dose of 150 or so amazing, incredible, it-can't-be-legal-it's-so-cheap offers so he can pick up even more tea tree oil and bee pollen vitamins. Can we kill him yet?
