Lately, I've been seeing alot of spammers sending out messages on how some stock is going to go Gangbusters and everyone needs to buy now. This, of course, drives the price of the stock up. The SEC considers it securities fraud and takes it very seriously. The spammers link to our site since we provide free financial info. We have nothing to do with the spam, but I get hundreds of complaints some days. You know what the best way to get back at someone who does this is?? Track them down and report them to the SEC. The SEC freezes their assets until the investigation is complete. I hate spammers. I never though I'd say this, but I love the SEC. :) -----Original Message----- From: Ben Kochie [mailto:ben at nerp.net] Sent: Monday, November 13, 2000 11:10 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG:23753] Spam my fault the bastards, anyone care to hunt them down with pitchforks and torches? :) Thank You, Ben Kochie (ben at nerp.net) *-----------------------* [ - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - ] | Unix/Linux Consulting | [ Haiku Error Message: ] | PC/Mac Repair | [ Chaos reigns within. ] | Networking | [ Reflect, repent, and reboot. ] | http://nerp.net | [ Order shall return. ] *-----------------------* [ - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - ] "Unix is user friendly, Its just picky about its friends."
