Spammers Stoop To New Low

mathowie writes "I received an unsolicited spam this week from MonsterHut, extolling the virtues of their "products" which are "email marketing" (they're a spam cannon). After reporting it at Spamcop, I received an interesting email from their bandwidth host. It seems that before they could cancel MonsterHut's account for violating their terms of service, MonsterHut began suing them. The worst part? A judge granted MonsterHut a temporary restraining order, forcing Paetec to keep their site online while they continue spamming, before Paetec even knew about the suit. Paetec is collecting affadavits from people that received the spam, so if you did, fill one out. It may be their only chance against the court. How far will spammers go to get their word out? When's it going to stop?"

    Hey guys, check this out! I know you're against spam and all, but this one isn't spam at all! I thought it was, and I've deleted countless messages just like it, but I decided -what the hell- I'll give it a go, and I couldn't believe my eyes! First only a few dollars came in, then the cheques started rolling in! I recieved $63,000 in just five weeks, and so can you! Just follow the simple instructions, and you can reach retirement at 23 just like I did!*

    *Yes, this is a joke. that's +1(funny), not -1(idiot) thankyou.

    > "Alot" isn't a word, YOU STUPID FUCK!

    And not quite as eloquent as your expletives. I don't think you should be the one complaining about language usage.

    Easy. When we find out where they live.
