Default Reporting that Patio Furniture Spammer

Charles,

I just purchased two Adirondack Chairs from Summerseat. As far as the
quality issue goes, Summerseat has a lifetime guarantee, so I would
assume they are fine. Hope this helps. Oh, the also feature a new chair
each month and they are having a winter sale right now of 50% off an
adirondack chair. Cheers!
Russ
Ooops! Their website is http://www.summerseat.com .


If you're going to attempt stealth spam, you really GOT to learn not to
spam the same couple of newsgroups serially with the same message. It
makes you not merely look like a crooked cheating lying scoundral, which
stealth spammers inherently are, but it additionally makes you look insane
for having thought it might pass undetected & actually generate sales
rather than the ill will your sort of crookedness requires.

Everyone who deplores spammers & deplores lying crooked stealth spammers
even more should report "Russ" & summerseat.com at
minimum to:


be sure to send all the headers when reporting crooked spammers.

And of course it goes without saying, NEVER buy anything from
summerseat.com. Spammers crooked enough to attempt stealth spammers are
apt to be crooked in every other aspect of their dealings. The fact that
the site sells for an inflated price the type of low-end lawn furniture
you can get dirt-cheap from a local vendor in any town shouldn't make it
hard to overlook such a cretinish company as summerseat.

When an outfit is this crooked you can't even be sure they exist -- many
fake vendors exist all over the web & what they are actually doing is
gleaning information to sell to spammers, or might be an identity theft
rings, or a credit card theft ring pretending to have a secured site for
you to deposit all your credit card info. When discovering someone crooked
enough for stealth spam, expect that they could be capable of ANY
criminality.

Spammers are not just a minor nuisance. Their endeavors are crimes & they
are responsible for diminishing freedoms on the web (because as more &
more governments criminalize their behavior, other restrictive legislation
tends to tag along & impacts authentic free speech). Their behavior
imposes all sorts of hidden costs on all of us. Here's a great page on how
to fight these sunzabitches:
