What gets people sending those out is - you mail 500,000 spams in a batch (really, that's about average). Maybe 5 people sign up for your shitty website, in which case you just made a a few hundred bucks. Or if you're a credit card/ID theft scammer, maybe 1 person is actually dumb enough to send you their bank info - you can write your own check, literally.
As to where they got your address - well - a lot of people think that Rendo gives it out, one way or another. See the community forum for examples.
