Kojote Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I routinely get spam with spamvertised websites that belong to "Andy Dkolav". The WHOIS lists the same contact information for all websites. The registrar is always xsitehost.com. I want to pursue him and shut him down for good. The reporting address is always DEVNULL. What can I do besides reporting to spamcop? Here is WHOIS from one of his spamvertised websites...

Miss Betsy Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Not much unless you have a lot of money and time. Even the big players like Earthlink and AOL don't have much luck at shutting them down permanently. IMHO, the more people who will use blocklists to stop spam or use ISPs who use blocklists (and not whine to their ISP about how a legitimate user who is using an ISP who is either irresponsible or incompetent is being blocked), the more likely that anybody who will buy from spammers (or respond to the scammers) will ever see a spam or scam. And therefore, the less profitable it will be. Educating the average end user to the advantages of using an ISP who uses blocklists is the best way to end spamming. Content filters should only be used by those who are willing to sort through the spam/scam in case there is a legitimate email and should cost extra. So my answer is to do something to educate the public. Miss Betsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
