Feds Cracking the Whip on Spammers

Britano writes "Fox News is reporting that the FTC has started to go after spammers and online scammers. So the governement has finally started on the side of the consumer. "The Federal Trade Commission announced Tuesday that is has created a nationwide task force that has already brought 63 law enforcement actions against Web-based scams ranging from auction frauds to bogus cancer-curing sites." Hey, this way we don't have to spend our own money on fighting this problem!"

email spam? what about the stuff i get in post?

[atari2600]

I actually receive less spam online than i do offline - sounds weird i know and i dont use any filters...How do i do it? - the way most of you do it?...use forwarding and make use of my domain name email service.
Now what do i do about postal spam - take credit card offers for instance - the law says im responsible for such material - so i should make sure i shouldnt be getting them...ha! what was that and the spam i get i spend a good time tearing it down and filling up my bin
Hold on what am i saying here? The time i took my telephone service (Verizon) the guy noted my name with a typo and i had my first bill with a typo - a month later wonder of wonders i had a Viagra and stimulate your sex drive envelope with the same typo in the name :O WTF - that was nothing - a few weeks later (im a male) i had a big cover for Ms.Atari2.6K with the same typo in the name - sigh. Now what?
