Explain why spam senders frequently change from one email address and one domain to another. Explain why changing the address does not prevent their victims from responding to their messages.

Answer: manipulation, psychology and the way the emails are written

Step-by-step explanation:

Spam senders always have various email addresses because the email providers learn of their illegal practices and shut down their accounts. However, nothing stops the spammers from making new accounts either on the same provider (if they are not IP blocked) or on a new one from the many available on the Internet. Furthermore, victims are gullible and some are unfortunately not computer-literate, so they believe the scams are true and genuine.
