Nothing like wrapping up a LONG day with spam, only to have to deal with MORE spam
first thing in the morning. I'm not a morning person, so I'll unleast my rage on this
really lame CyberPromo/CompuServe using/Prodigy forging spammer.

Here the business you want to avoid:

(770)512-0083

Of course, I sort of doubt CyberPromo is involved by the poor remove section wording.
It is quite obvious this person has no clue what they are doing, but I know it's
annoying spam and they must be billed for it.

The recieve/sender domains are fraudulent, typical of CyberPromo activities to get
around filters designed to prevent CyberPromo trash.

That makes this strike 3. Why do they feel the need to steal service to send out their
unwanted spams? Why not simply save the time and make a web site?

I now quote their spam:

CUSTOMER SERVICE/SUPPORT ISSUES PLEASE CALL (770)399-5505
FOR COMPLAINTS OR E-MAIL REMOVAL PLEASE CALL (770)399-5614

You can bet which one I'll call tomorrow. This was sent to the Casualty Park address, which
proves they are scanning web pages for email addresses. They will be invoiced $1500.00.

    UPDATE: June 12, 1998
    
The folks hijacked by this spammer have responded, informing me that this attack crashed
a machine. This helps show why spam is a bad thing. Spammers feel it's OK to steal service,
and it is the fault of the ISP for not providing a server robust enough for their excessive
spamming runs.

    Special Note: June 12, 1998, 09:03
    
I called the complaint number. Apparently their removal/complaint department guy is
extremely busy, as I could not leave a message because his mailbox was full. Also,
and I may be wrong, but this individual sounded like it was on some sort of drugs,
and I am not talking about the prescription kind. The person sounded way too laid
back and completely unconcerned. I'll most likely call next week after I've filed
BBB complaints.

Still spamming. This is #6. This was sent to the Studio42 webmaster account. It is NOT
amused.

Hmm, when I called, he sounded drunk. I guess happiness has all sorts of flavors. I'll file
formal complaints instead.

The "From" address suggests that they may be attempting revenge tactics against me. I'm phoning

    UPDATE: August 8, 1998, 20:51
    
Hotmail has a new odd method of responding to complaints, which makes no sense to me. What makes
even less sense is the final notice of kill, which I never really cared for in the first place,
but I don't like this one either. However, as long as I can still track the kills, I'm a happy
person. Kill #220 makes me happy.

Hotmail has nuked this account. It would be nice if CompuServe would also nuke the account
responsible, but I guess that's simply too much to ask. This is kill 222!
