On 03 May 2006, - Steve Holmes entered spamcop and left news:[email protected]: 1) Are there other films about spammers? I remember one, not a film to the extent that you are talking about, though. I don't remember the name of the show, but there was a mother who's child was getting porn spam, and she contacted the advertised site to try and get it to stop. I don't remember the whole show, but they tracked down the spammer and confronted him, it took them quite some time because they went through quite a few companies and several dead-ends. I'm sure it was over 30 mins and quite interesting. Maybe someone else here remembers that program? But I think we need more education. Ignoring or blocking it does little more than make it a little more interesting for the spammer (it actually creates more spam). Fighting it is the way to go, and we need more people fighting, and less fishies. I think a reality view of the spammer (and how easy it is for them) would be interesting. Also the domain registrars who accept money for all those crack domains, you can't complain to them and they don't care at all, that ain't right. -- | Ric |
