Sadly, my gammy leg is keeping me indoors, and I have to find my entertainment where I can.<br /><br />But time spent chasing these people isn't wasted. I've had a number of good results, including:<br /><br />Getting a spammer taken off the list of people cashing in on the Henley Regatta<br /><br />Getting a cheque for £25 sent to the RNIB<br /><br />Getting a cheque for £50 sent to me by Halifax<br /><br />Convincing a number of organisations that spamming is more expensive than they thought, and getting them to stop doing it.<br /><br />The problem as I see it, isn't the scroats that spam Viagra and fake watches. The danger comes when reputable companies start to think that spam is a good idea. And it's the reputable companies that I've been talking to.<br /><br />The way to deal with email address hijackers, is ... don't click on any link in any email, including the ones that you think probably came from your friends. The link might not go where you thought it did, and might result in something nasty being installed on your computer.drsollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954188290191548178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143925273655347334.post-50207005305532725732012-03-28T12:18:30.140+01:002012-03-28T12:18:30.140+01:00Whilst I have the utmost respect and love for you,...Whilst I have the utmost respect and love for you, Dr. I do sumtimes wonder if you need to get out more!! (Pun intended!) Surely with anti spam filters on email accounts and sensible opening of dodgy emails, don't you feel you are spending (as in wasting) too much time chasing these people. <br /><br />Now if you can tell us how to sort out the spammers/conners who "hijack" email addresses so the mail "comes" from a friends btinernet account or such, that would be worth investigating. <br />Any way glad to see you're caching again I enjoyed the chance of catch up with you, I've got to within 24,789 of you now!! <br /><br />Have a good, and enjoy the weather :)Shutzhttp://drsollyappreciationsoc.comnoreply@blogger.com
