Default SPAM EMAILS

This is not a marketing question, but that of SPAM issues. I keep getting spam emails from MLM idiots who always send a no reply@........com. Usually the unsubscribe link doesn't work. I can usually trace the origin of these emails even down to the country town and street using google maps. However, they need to be reported so that their ISP will deal with them accordingly. I use [ Email Trace - Trace Email and Track Email tool ]which is a useful tool to locate these low lifes.

Can anyone tell me the best place to report these people to so that the authorities can put them into San Quentin for the 5000 years?

Thanks a lot


Pete

Hi Pete,

I will personally just ignore that email and place it under the junk folder. Just place that email address under the ban list and the email message should automatically go to the junk folder.

Not worth your effort to go through the hassle and reporting them. Better to stay focus on growing your online business

Hi pete

i too have been getting a lot of them lately and some from so called seo experts offering their services. Then they have the cheek to ask me why i havent replied to their email in a follow up.

if i was you i would ignore them - i am sure when they dont get a response they will stop sending you messages.

kind regards

Pete,

The best place to report them is to their ISP, but because of the shear magnitude of the problem, reporting spammers could quickly become a full time job. I'd rather spend my time being productive and earning income .

I simply delete these type messages and flag them as spam. You may also want to create a few business only email accounts for your more important email and use "fodder accounts" for more run-of-the-mill type email.

Best of Luck to You!

Calvin

The url you want is: spam@uce.gov

It goes to the feds in the USA and they track spammers from around the world. You need to copy and paste including the FULL header.

If the spam is sent from a web-based email (like GMAIL), then that tool will not help you locate the spammer.
