After being hounded endlessly by spammers, I finally decided that I'd had enough. It had taken me a long while to start fighting back, but it always looked more complicated to fight back than it was worth. Then I took the plunge.
I no longer receive those credit card/merchant account spams anymore. The spammer tried changing email accounts 4 or 5 times, but I managed to get each account closed simply by sending the spammer's ISP a short complaint letter.
Basically, I just read the header: I looked for the spammer's ISP and ran it through SpamCop and got the spammer's ISP complaint department. I then sent a copy of the complete hearder and spam to them and then . . . I've been SPAM FREE FOR FIVE DAYS NOW and Counting!
Of course, it won't last forever. But now that I know how to do it, it will only take me mere seconds to cost that spammer an account set-up fee. REVENGE!!!
