Probably decent ROI which is why it keeps on happening!
They just need one person in each 10k spammed on average, to click the phishing url asking them to pay a fake bill and then charge them $328 instead of the $3.28 displayed o the page.
I received (and reported to their scam Dept) a phishing SMS yesterday pretending to be from Australia Post asking for $3.28 to release a delivery package I'm waiting for, which is most people in Australia nowadays with the current slowdown in mail delivery speed.
I am only guessing that the $3.28 phishing purchase would have attempted a $328 charge on my card... but that would be wildly profitable if the input costs per successful fraud were under $100...
