Teach English overseas! Why is this ad spam?

When they resort to placing image ads and breaking up their words, like this:


Te.ach Eng.lish %26amp; T.ravel!


Its obvious they are trying to avoid spam detectors. But why should ads for this kind of thing be so much more common than actual jobs? Sure, travel is attractive, but it isn%26#039;t practical for everyone.
Teach English overseas! Why is this ad spam?
It%26#039;s spam because not very many people are interested in teaching in Japan. Anything designed to fool spam detectors should and is viewed with suspicion.





If the spammer is willing to circumvent the process, would you trust that individual with your credit card number.





If you want the information, it isn%26#039;t spam. If you don;t want the information, it%26#039;s spam.
