Deadbeats' Hall of Lame
2008 Phish Spam Edition
Do not sign me up for any mail lists. Studio42 does not accept such unsolicited business. Also, since I've recently been getting a flood of such e-mail from various people and organizations I don't wish to deal with, their names will end up here, along with their home and business addresses, and phone numbers, whenever possible.
Please realize that 99.9% of internet users DON'T want your crap in our e-mail boxes.
Minimum fine for violation of this policy allows me to legally bill/invoice for $500 and this can be escalated to a court of law.
Disclaimer lines placed in every signature file I have now:
|Commercial and/or unsolicited email and/or spam will be processed for|
| a $500 handling fee. Unsolicited sending constitutes acceptance. |
This pretty much indicates what actions I'm am allowed to take.

UPDATE: October 5, 2008
Asking a server operator to fix something is nice. Demanding they fix it would be
even better. Requiring it be fixed would be great. Making it a condition to meet
in order to restore service would be ideal. But at least something is being done, I hope.

Capital One scammer insisting I call them to reactivate my account after too many
bad login attempts. Well, seeing as how I don't have a Capital One card and never
will, this clearly makes this a spam. Non-registered domain really means scummy
server operator, and I think proxy rape. I need to investigate +1(315-235-1392)
