Sloppy practice by US / Canadian ISPs; opportunism by unregulated Far Eastern ISPs is part of the problem. But, the vast majority of the spam I used to receive is for American products and services, payable in USD, with (if you can spend the time tracing it back), a US bank account/mailing address at the back of it. No, they are not consciously targetting the rest of the world, but since it costs b-all to send it to the UK, France etc, they do it. Many ordinary people here in the UK who have little contact with the US save what they see on TV, are getting sick and tired of the this avalanche of spam whose origin in is in the USA.
