On average, there is only one reply per 12 million spam emails sent.

that’s a pretty accurate statistic for spam replies. Here’s why:

• High Volume, Low Engagement: Spammers typically send out massive amounts of emails to a wide range of addresses, hoping to catch a few people who might click on malicious links or fall for scams.
• Unwanted Content: The very nature of spam makes it unlikely for people to respond. It’s unsolicited, irrelevant, and often contains harmful content.
• Spam Filters: Email providers and security software have become quite good at filtering out spam before it even reaches your inbox. This further reduces the chances of someone seeing and replying to a spam message.

Studies suggest a reply rate as low as 1 per 12 million or even 1 per 12.5 million emails for spam campaigns. While it seems like a tiny number, it’s enough for spammers to keep operating because even a small number of clicks can be profitable.
