The Death Penalty

Post by Casey H » Wed Jan 03, 2007 9:23 am

I'm starting to favor the death penalty for...SPAMMERS!!!Uggggh!! I get about 50-100 a day on my main email address. I filter them, but I still have to check the filtered area to see if a real one got caught by mistake.I don't want Viagra, Cialis, pain killers, weight-loss pills, penis enlarger pills (or pumps), the latest hot stock tip, bank alert, or to help a Nigerian banker with his multi-million dollar problem! So... let's vote in Capital Punishment for spammers!! Casey

I kind of enjoy deleting the blocks of 20 or 30 emails in one shot without reading them... I can spot em a mile away.... actually gives me a sense of power..... I forward the Nigerian banker and oil mogul emails to the FBI....I had the same problem with my fax machine.... I was getting 10 or 20 bs faxes a day. I started saving them in a pile, calling them to have me deleted with a time and date stamp on the call on each sheet. After about a month, I copied the whole stack and sent it to the FCC with a lengthy complaint letter. The FCC said they couldn't do much but they would investigate. And they said not to call in for deletion cause that just gets you more spam....About a month later, the FCC sent me a response letter that was nicely worded that basically said anyone who spams me is lokking for trouble. When the spam faxes came in, I started faxing them back the letter from FCC. Now I think I get 5 spam faxes a month.....Vegence is mine sayeth the Lord....(but if I give you a shot at revenge on a jerk you will find it savory....)ArkJackArkJack

Unfortunately, when you email these spammers back, the emails come back as undeliverable. I have a lot of mail I'd love to send to them and it's extremely frustrating that it's a one way abuse. They get to kick me in the pants a hundred times a day and I don't get to kick them in the pants even once. It makes me grumpy.
