I doubt any business would fall for that since they already receive false complaints, bad reviews, negative reps etc from the new competitors who pay people to do just that.

They do. Such scams are a big deal for the scammers.

All they need is 1-3% response to get wealthy and they send millions of emails each day.

Wow really? but don't these businesses who pay to these scammers realize that as soon as they run outta money they'll contact them again and ask for more?

Generally they don't as this is a "hit and run" scam.

This is true. Most of these are hit and runs, and for good reason.

I extort $600 from you, eventually you move on and forget about it. As does law enforcement. I extort you for $600, then come back from more, then come back for more and then come back for more. It only increases unwanted attention on me and increases my odds of getting caught. It's better to get some money from you once and then you forget about it and move on with your life, and i move on to hitting new targets.

When I say "I" i don't mean me personally of course, I mean criminals.

People are less likely to go to the police on one scam and more likely to go to police on multiple scams. Get the one and move on is how the better extornists operate.
