found it for all to see: The first place to which you should complain is the Federal Trade Commission. They are the primary agency vested with enforcement of the new Federal CAN-SPAM anti-spam law. They want your spam. They *love* your spam. They have a refrigerator full of spam. *(Psst.. Hey! Let us know if you like this article by leaving a comment below!)* So forward your spam to uce@ftc.gov. And in case you haven’t read all of our previous columns (and really, you should), let me remind you that address harvesting – the act of taking an email address from a web page such as, oh, say, this one, is illegal. But I’d sure like to see some spammer harvest the email address uce@ftc.gov and send spam to uce@ftc.gov because that would mean that when the spam went to uce@ftc.gov the FTC could really nail them for harvesting the address uce@ftc.gov and sending spam to uce@ftc.gov. P.S. —>>uce@ftc.gov< <---harvest here After sending your spam to the FTC, if you are feeling really motivated, you can read the fine print in the spam's header information to determine from where the spam really originated, and complain to the ISP who is hosting the spammer. That may get the spammer's Internet access turned off. Next, you can contact your State Attorney General's office to find out with whom you can file a complaint at your state level, because CAN-SPAM allows State Attorney Generals to sue spammers who violate CAN-SPAM. In fact, your ISP can sue them too. Finally, once you have done some or all of these things, delete the spam, and be grateful for small favours - such as the fact that the spam did not contain a *bogus unsubscribe link, which when you clicked it, rather than unsubscribing you, alerted the spammer to the fact that they had a warm body at the other end of the line.* On Fri, Jun 26, 2015 at 9:46 AM, Michael Butash wrote: > Good question actually. > > I get some idiot recruiter spam (a car dealership and realtor too come to > mind) that a few times have tried to use their unsubscribe form, and found > it broken, which I half suspect on purpose (or they had a windoze developer > code it and only works in ie). > > Either way an annoyance I can't remove myself from, which I take as a > violation.
