Spam volume Although the global volume of spam is falling, our statistics by country show marked differences from quarter to quarter. Saudi Arabia is the most dramatic example, with a spike in August that led to a more than 700 percent increase this period. Turkey was the next biggest, at 289 percent growth, and Spain led the Europeans, with 83 percent. South Korea (64 percent), Russia (41 percent), and Japan (38Â percent) enjoyed large declines.
