Also, the governments in every country are taking legal steps to combat such messages, although these efforts are not up to mark. The spam senders are increased even after the government took steps by introducing the schemes against spammers, but still the spammers are working.
There are also national and international organizations that works on managing spams, including the Global System for Mobile Association (GSMA), Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and many more. Hence, spam is an expensive problem and the users need to be alerted of opening such spams containing malware or scams.
