Spam refers to unsolicited or unwanted emails sent in bulk to a large number of recipients. In this scenario, the 50 e-mails received by Cindy were unsolicited and from a company she did not sign up to receive emails from. Hence, it qualifies as spam. Telemarketing refers to unsolicited phone calls, direct mail refers to physical mail sent directly to the recipient's address, and MLM (multi-level marketing) refers to a business model where participants earn commissions not only for their own sales but also for the sales of the people they recruit. None of these terms apply to Cindy's situation.
