The spammer
If anyone is interested I sent a email to Yahoo and asked for his account to
be shut down. They usually respond in 24 hours to me about these. The bozo will probably just get another account and then we can send abuse mail to that ISP. |

Unless it's a Yahoo client, they probbly won't be able to do much, but they CAN ban his address/es from using their access ports, IF they want to. Did you also get any spamvertised web sites into the complaint? They're worth reporting too. Luck! Pop |

Many of these AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail addresses are just throw-away accounts.

Many of these AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail addresses are just throw-away accounts. Spammers change email addresses when they change socks (parden the pun). I think they change email addresses more often than they change socks, or underwear. However, usually they are selling something, and the URL of that doesn't change, so it might be more effective to complain to that location than to their latest email address. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.1 iQA/AwUBQu62yAIk7T39FC4ZEQLrvQCeL7SvRkU0iS133v5DXVqM5Q 6YzGoAoJ3A KVz3vwvuNGEgCKhgl1uU0vsI =iLLv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

The current deluge is not coming from Yahoo. The USENET postings are coming from the Spanish ISP ono.com and if you will look at the list of names in the "send money to" list you will find one consistent poster from Spain in all of them (at least in the dozens I've bothered to check). If you want to complain to someone (it won't do a bit of good but it might make you feel better) send a complaint to about Señor Perez in Valladolid. -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] http://johnmcgaw.com |
