2009 Phish Scam Edition


WARNING!

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.

  • See the spam Really? The administrator, who is me, according to this scam, shut down its own email address and is being threatened that it may be removed and I have to email some other idiot to bring it back. No, sorry. I'm just gonna move over to the mail server and go directly do administrative stuff to it on my schedule, not some spammer's schedule. School rape, Spanish drop.

  • See the spam Idiot out of Luxembourg telling me my email account is full. Odd, I'm my own admin. Israeli domain registered to a Hotmail drop box.
  • See the lookups In a not totally convincing display, Hotmail wants to inform me that the Hotmail drop I reported in the contact of a domain does not exist. That is a terms of service violation for that domain registrar. Since Hotail doesn't mention deletion, removal, shutting down or words to indicate an account having administrative actions taken against it to remove it or shut it down, this counts as an action.
