Want to make money? Sure. Don't know how? Well, then GET A JOB!

Again, why should I want to deal with a company that deal with
spam, forges headers and hides their true return address?

Mitchell Enterprises
4020 Chicago Ave. Suite 130
Riverside CA 92507

At least they have a remove address, but I'll need to confirm it. I won't
reply to it, although I'm sure my automation already has.

The way this program works: They make money, you lose money. Simple. That's
the point of spam.

Oh, and their remove "link" is invalid since it's not in HTML. Idiots.

OK, let's look at this carefully, since I have time.

First, the "from" address is wrong. It should be UU.Net since that's where
this spammer dialed in from.

The AOL address is to prevent flames back at them.

Ah, this coming from a so called expert? Let's see, this person wants to help me
get the woman I want. Let's take a look at what a typical spammer is:
A con artist
Lonely, which is why it mass-mails
Most likely unemployed
Is dishonest and blatantly lies.
Gee, are these all things women are looking for?

Apparently these idiots think so:
VNZ Services
PO Box 710401
San Diego, CA  92171-0401

Of course, all their orders must be postal mailed, which makes this mail fraud.

They also don't know HTML worth a crap either. Why is it the spammers always
forget to close out the document and always end with an unpaired FONT tag with color?

This person admits to knowing that spam invades my privacy, but instead choosed to
spam me, acting as if this is some deep and personal confession.

Well, this little idiot does not have a confession, he has a scam he wants to push.
Why should I be emotionally moved by some idiot who has to forge addresses, abuse
PSI and generally act in a dishonest manner.

The actual spammer does not its information. Instead, this entire site is created
to promote this scam, and to ohst their partners in this scam. This is a very
involved scam. However, the web site easily gave up their address:

FreedomStarr Communications, Inc.
619-781-5515  619-432-9700 fax
North County San Diego, California USA


Anyhow, USA.Net, which normally allows spam, is not involved, but I will alert them anyways.
This is more spam coming out of PSI.Net

Let's start with what I assume are bogus domains:

>whois 0yaeb5.net
No match for "0YAEB5.NET".

No surprises there.

The "ybecker.net" address does not resolve to any DNS entry. It is unclear who owns that
Class C license. The only thing clear is that it is coming from SprintNet, but I don't
think this a SprintNet address. As seen in other spams, "ybecker.net" is a bogus domain.

Now, the Earthlink IP and PSI IP addresses to check out and match. The spam originated
from PSI, and was sent to Earthlink for mass annoyance. Most likely the "ybecker.net"
and the associated false IP address were inserted via some mail program to try and avoid
flames and hide their tracks, while the USA.Net address was simply used to prevent flames 
back.


UPDATE September 9, 1997

This person was terminated from PSI. I'm sure my complaint was one of many. That's one
less spammer polluting the internet, at least for the time being.

Oh boy. More Juno crap. No wait, it's UU.Net crap, being relayed to Earthlink for mass
distribution, with all sorts of other garbage in the middle. They of course use a
CyberPromo domain remove address, so we know this is not a remove list, it's merely
an active address confirmation.

Let's cut the crap. This company is a spam company. They exist solely for the purposes
of spamming others. A visit to their home page proves that. They even use "stealth"
software, so that means they are ensuring that bogus headers are used, addresses are
forged, and people will be allowed to run their illegal scams.

Yeah, they were described in 1977, and now they're spamming based on a 2-year old
magazine article about an opportunity in my area. Hey, 20 years is a long time, so
that opportunity came and went 18 years ago. Either that or they meant 1997. Still,

This was unexpected. Some idiot quickly got the nerve together to try and sell
anti-drinking and driving T-shirts by capitalizing on the death of Lady Di, who
definately lived, or stopped living up to her name.

Now, I don't want to sound like some sick bastard, or even a heartless bastard,
but I fell that I'm one of the few people who don't give a crap one way or
another regarding the British Royal Family. They mean nothing to me, I do not
care, and to be perfectly honest, I seriously hope this means less "royal
watcher" crap.

Still, this little waste of flesh of a spammer is going on about the paparazzi.
He's talking about how they are relentless, and have placed a low value on
morality, privacy and humanity. Hmm, aren't those the same traits of spammers?
The only difference is the spammer doesn't get up in your face with a camera.
This spammer also talks about how the paparazzi felt it was more important to
snap pictures than lend aid. Hmm, well, spammers feel it is more important to
send spam than to take into consideration people not wanting spam. Seems to be
about the same to me.

The spammer also goes ont to say that it does not matter if the paparazzi is
responsible for the accident, but more importantly that steps be taken to prevent
this from happening in the future. Gee, that's sort of the same view I have on
spam: it does not matter who is responsible for it, but steps must be taken
to prevent it from happening again in the future. Seems that lining up the
paparazzi and the spammers against a wall and gunning them all down would be
a step in the right direction to me.

This person goes on to while how he tried bulk emails, search engines to get
more hits, but it simply didn't work. Well, I can see why, he's too trying
to be an annoyance and pest rather than turn out a quality web site.

Then he's also talking about getting money for hits, so I know there is some

no part of banner advertising. It would be nice if this idiot would at least
