Slashdot Mirror
When Spammers Try To Sue You
An Anonymous Coward writes: "I was looking for information about what recourse there is against spammers when I came across this site. It appears that Bernard Shifman sent email to several people trying to solcit employment via spam, and when they replied to him, asking him to stop, and reporting the spam to his ISP he threatend them with a lawsuit. It's a very entertaining read."
I hate spammers as much as the next person, but I've also sent my resume out using a nifty little script I bru'd up to a hundred or so companies.
rejected (19) accepted (0)
Is there a psychological term related to getting your stories rejected on slashdot?
Give Bernard a call ;)

One more note, your definition is less specific than mine which allows more emails to fall into this category. I think the word you're looking for is strict, since it cracks down on a wider range of instances.
I'm the big fish in the big pond bitch.
I can see no reason for anyone to even reply to any of Bernie's blatherings, unless it be out for some sort of entertainment value. And if this is entertainment... The whole page recalls the adage about those arguing with fools running the risk of observers being unable to distinguish the participants.
This is Bernard! Here is the story For the record I'm not a spammer. I was sending my resume to several companies in the last few months. During my search for businesses I accidently added Neil to my list. It was my mistake. I'm sorry. My cable / dsl / t1 accounts are all still active despite Neil telling people I was removed from my cable service for spamming. I can respect what the ANTI-SPAMMNIG community is doing with their efforts, but they have the wrong guy this time. I'm just like all of you trying to add some contracts to my business. I'm surprised at all of the death threats(2 of them this morning since being posted on SLASHDOT.ORG)-->(laf)...that are coming to my 773.391.0595 number. Since being listed on SLASHDOT.ORG, I have received over 400 phone calls. Since being in contact with NEIL Schwartzman I have recieved over 500 pieces of SPAM e-mail. He is registering me to porno subscriptions and you can just use your imagination. So who is really abusing the e-mail systems and wasting resources of the internet? Please stop the phone calls, death threats, porno subscriptions, spam mail, mailing list subscriptions, and all the rest of the pranks. Why do you want slashdot to have this kind of rep? Most of the information that I've read on this thread and others.. is incorrect and misleading. Please use your brain and commen sense when reading these posts. All of this publicity!!! One of your users hired us for a consulting contract which we will be taking on next month. He asked to remain anonymous and I repsect his wishes. Thanks for the new client guys. Please have some integrity before you decide to "act" on someone elses incorrect statements.
