Спам (англ. spam) — массовая рассылка коммерческой и иной рекламы или подобных коммерческих видов сообщений лицам, не выражавшим желания их получать. Распространителей спама называют спамерами.

Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender.
