    It’s a numbers game (pun not intended but, hey, if it works I’m alright with it) - use an automated method to send a no-cost/ultra-cheap message to millions of people, swindle the small fraction of those who fall for it.

    Now that sending this kind of text message is as cheap as sending e-mails, we see this same principle applied in these as we saw with scam emails.
