jon Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 My new passtime while sitting on the bus in traffic is to trace my spam mail. I get a ton of spam, I think mainly because of this site. Anytime you post your email on the internet these spammer harvest your email and sell it and spam the crap out of it. So I'm starting to go after some of these fuckers. The first spammer I'm going after typically sends emails that are from Cool Bargains or something like that. What I challange you to do, if you are computer savvy enough and use something like Outlook is to search for emails coming from this guy. Using the IP address truncation 65.61 to search the headers of all your email. In the last month I have gotten about 100 spam emails from this one person. I have traced where they are being hosted from and have contacted their ISP and they are in the process of taking action. The State of Washington has tough anti spamming laws and I plan on going after this guy. Search your emails with the above string and send me a PM with how many you have gotten from this guy. I'll see you in hell spammers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon Posted June 24, 2003 Author Share Posted June 24, 2003 If I could find a lawyer that would be willing to do this pro boner or whatever they call it I might consider suing this guy, especially if he has been spamming everyone on the website. I'm considering doing what is described below, click if you are a nerd. http://www.kungfugrippe.com/previously/002462.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa_Eagle Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 what I want to know is, can I trace these back to the physical locations so I can go personally kick their ass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj221 Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Godspeed on your quest to destroy the spammer. I'm a computer moron. I often have dreams of designing some sort of evil computer virus and unleashing it upon the spammers of the world. Go forth and conquer.

leejams Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Another way to at least do something about it for us less computer savvy people. I got a few new H&R block spam lately. Just dropped em a note stating I used them for years and SPAM SUCKS, I will no longer be a customer! This puts the ball in there court to do something about it.

Attitude Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Newsflash: just because someone has worked at a climbing shop does not mean someone is a climber. Well duh. Of course someone with a law degree might be useful in scoping out the legal territory and then assist a real lawyer (which I believe there are several on this board).
