Angry Agggrrrrrr!!! Too Bad This Site Doesn't Allow Me Use......

the appropriate words to describe how I feel about spammers. In the recent month or so my wife, 2 of my neighbors and some friends have been questioning me why am I sending them "Viagra spam" e-mails. I was like, WHAT!? Well yesterday someone on my contact list who I've don't business once when I inquired about her catering services sent me an e-mail asking me to please remove her e-mail address from my contact list and to stop sending her spam e-mails. She was kind enough to leave me her number so I called her and explained to her that some criminals (spammers) had some how, stole my e-mail address and password then hack into my e-mail account and stole my contact list. She said, "hmmm....OKAY, it's fine just please remove my e-mail from you contact list, goodbye. I hope she believed me cause it is true.

I did a Google search with this combination of words: "Canadian pharmacy viagra spam my email stealing my contact list" and found this: http://www.complaintsboard.com/compl...l-c300872.html


I don't know what you can do to protect yourself but looks like this is a big wave with a lot of people being affected. I hope none of you become another victim. I have like "state of the art" anti spam, anti virus and anti everything but I still fell a victim. MSN Hotmail has now lost my $20 a month business for e-mail services because of this.

After digging for more info on this spammer I found out that the has a bunch of e-mail accounts so I added them to my contact list and set his e-mail addresses to receive the following message everyday.

You do realize that is an automated email program sending emails, not an actual person checking emails.

It's called spoofing. Google email spoofing and you'll learn more about it.

Yes I know but the automated e-mail was programmed by the spammer who stole my information.

The e-mails on the above picture are said to be the spammers e-mail.

The good news is that this scammer has extreme hatered against receiving spams. It’s rather irony, isn’t it? So forward all the spams to the following email addresses. Send them using different email addresses as many as possible, so that he won’t be able to block your email addresses. He has the tendency that if you send a lot of spams to him, he will remove you from his spam databases. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN REMOVE FROM HIS SPAMBASE! You can also automate your email system to redirect to him. Then congratulations!
You will get far less spams!
