The Russian Mafia Doesn't Like Spam Either

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the think-twice-before-sending dept.

wattrlz writes "Apparently the current champion of v1*gr4 spamming solicited some of the wrong email boxes. Alexy Tolstokozhev was recently found murdered in his palatial spam-bought estate near Moscow. The implications of this hands on method of system administration are staggering." Update: 10/12 15:28 GMT by Z : Good story. Unfortunately, probably a fake.

  3. Three steps to spam free email by Opportunist · · Score: 0, Redundant

    1. Find out the name of some Russian kingpin.
    2. Register his name as your address at GMail
    3. Make sure that all interested authorities know that you're not him and that you only did it to stay away from spam.

    Don't omit step 3 or you might have more problems on your hands than spam could ever mean.
