I think that the problem is that SOME people actually do click on the links. There really are people who fall for the Nigerian prince in distress, etc. It seems completely insane that anyone would ever be so gullible, but it happens. People purchase 'on-line herbal viagra' and other such things.

My guess is that most of this is automated. They have UBB Threads down to a science and are not actually putting any physical work into it...outside of confirming a bunch of e-mails.
