FN-FORUM: UK based spam muppets

date posted 1st December 2003 15:53

Lo all,

I've just been spammed by [EMAIL REMOVED] to a mail address that is so
very NOT on any mailing lists. Foolishly, this plank links to his website in
his quality spam, where there's a contact number.

Imagine his surprise when I called and expressed my love for the spam just
received.

He quickly stated that the email address was obtained from a company called
www.fxstyle.net, who unfortunately don't have a contact number.

My question is: Gary spammed me from a UK company (for web design services,
doh!), is Gary liable for anything apart from abuse?

Suggested options for giving Gary what he deserves?

/me hates dumb spammers based in the UK who have a telephone number handy...

TIA,

iain
