Deadbeats' Hall of Lame, MarketCom 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.

Last update: December 9, 1997 for a spam for some MarketCom crap.

And now, without further ado, Studio42 presents the:

Internet Deadbeats' HALL OF LAME, MarketCom Edition

Marketcom continues to spam me, despite repeated requests to stop. I have to go through other spam listings and find their entries and place them here. See why remove lists and remove requests don't work as Marketcom continues to bombard me on a regular basis with unwanted litter.

This was sent to me at work.

This was sent to another private account. Sorry for the lack of information,
but I had to forward a message from PINE to another account. I have something
not configured properly in PINE right now. Bear with me.

Apparently since this little idiot was able to find my web site, he feels I
need more visibility. Why would I need more visibility if a moron such as
this can find my web site, visit my anti-spam section, and then spam me
anyways? Apparently, people unclear on the concept. So, time to investigate.

Let's do a traceroute:
Nothing spectacular to report other than "agis.net", the rogue site hosting company
is involved, but why am I not surprised? No point in complaining as AGIS.Net has
blocked my complaints due to the fact that agis.net is too irresponsible to deal with
complaints or conduct business in a proper fashion. However, I can bill Marketcom.com
for the spam. $1500. Man,  can't wait for that bill to pass so I can start really 
enforcing my billing policy. Right now I have to wear them down before they pay.

And that's that. Or is it?


    UPDATE 07/07/1997
    

Due to how I discovered this message, please excuse the lack of information I usually
gladly provide:

This "short header" was taken using PINE over at my MediaCity account.

I again see no need to reply to this scam, although the invoicing is at $2000 right now.
I can't wait for that anti-spam law to pass, then I can send all this fun stuff to my
accountant and we'll both get paid.

Some people are simply too stupid to be allowed to live. Please support retro-active
abortion for the chronically retarded. See, I've got nothing against those who are
actually retarded, but this person is showing learned or acquired retardation.

See other listings. They keep sending me this garbage that I clearly do not request.
They register your web site on imaginary search engines and then charge you very
real money.

What I find is odd is that I seem to get nailed with this garbage at MediaCity
while I'm doing something in PINE. Then, I can't download the email via Claris
Emailer. Still, I can still extract all the information I need.

I have a feeling that around the 27th of each month, I'll be getting another deluge
of spam from these idiots.

This little mail forging retard wants me to have a nice day. It would be a much
nicer day if I didn't have to deal with spam.

Yet another spamming package, but this one is Java based. What a horrible abuse of
resources.

But spammers are my enemy. Despite this coming PERSONALLY to this account, it is still
spam.

While this did not come out of Marketcom, this does advertise for one of their
spamming products.

    Also, if you've got a complaint about my anti-spam feelings or want to scold me for being justifiably sick of spam, I have the following words of wisdom for you:

    BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!
