It only gets sent if it generates income. The real question is where is the income coming from. At the first level the scam is generating income for the folks sending it out as users fall for the scam. At what I think of as the second level, the spammers are selling services to spammer wannabes who are paying to have this sent out and aren't really getting folks to fall for it.
