Help Stop Spam!

Here is a useful hint thanks to the FTC:

  • If you get spam email that you think is deceptive, forward it to spam@uce.gov.  The FTC uses the spam stored in this database to pursue law enforcement actions against people who send deceptive email.
  • Don't Stop There!  Let the FTC know if your "remove me" request is not honored.  They have an online complaint form at www.ftc.gov
  • Send a copy of the spam to your ISP abuse desk, and to the sender's ISP.  Most ISP's don't want spammers on their system either.
