My guess would be to "MAKE MONEY FAST!" by selling various "ehancement" 
products and such.  It is a truly depraved
world we live in and somehow the net has stopped being about people 
communicating together and more about machines screaming as loudly as 
possible to each other selling things nobody wants and making the 
network unusable for real human beings.  and as the spammer's scripts 
get more sophisticated  we have to keep up with the arms race. which 
really is a shame since so much time and resources are spent fighting 
spam that little time is left for anything else.
