  1. Looks like it's solved then: Rumble is not going to be bothered. Today I got "Tucker Carlson" inviting me to a personal chat with him. Using the link to see what this spam would lead to, it was to a video on YouTube of a young lady being all excited about these marvelous new effective wait-loss pills. I send to Rumble.
  2. I did mention the Glenn Greenwald impersonator spam in the comments in my email to Rumble. Next time it happens I will email Rumble again, and include the link the spammer gave. I don't see how SP can get involved from my side. It would have to be Rumble. But Rumble having the spammer's account info can just suspend the account as you said. There is no flag option, only a respond option.
  3. Thank you all for your responses and advice. I've PM'd one of the admins, and send an email to Rumble, with my apologies, and an explanation, including a link to this thread on Spamcop's forum. Before greeting with "Kind regards, Lodewijk" I wrote this in the email: "According to members of the forum Rumble will not be in trouble. I and probably many others would like it if those impersonators pretending to be content makers would not be able to write their spam in the comments. I've had many spam comments, as Im sure others also have. For example, Russell Brand is likewise impersonated by a spammer on Rumble. I usually don't respond or write "Go away spammer. You are not Glenn Greanwald." or something like that, so others don't fall in the trap."
  4. Thank you for your response. Will PM an admin. Maybe it's already there, but otherwise it might be handy if there were a tutorial on how to correct one's erroneous report.
  5. I guess spam is so hated that it doesn't deserve to be written with a capital "S."
  6. PS: Wouild like to edit the title and turn "spam" into "spam", but can't do it. Evem though I wrote the second "spam" above in this post with a capital "S", it comes out with a lower case "s."
  7. Hi, sometimes I post comments on videos on Rumble. And if someone responds, Rumble sends me an email with link to that response. Someone on Rumbe pretends to be the video content maker, for example Russell Brand, or in this case Glenn Greenwald, but its spam to get you to buy something. In this case the response to one of my comments today pretends to be from Glenn Geenwald, but it is fake: ................... ConvowithGlennGreenwald 2 hours ago Thanks for your contribution, kindly follow the link below to contact my telegram channel for more insight as soon as possible. https://t.me/ConvowithGlennGreenwald .................. As usual Rumble send me an email to let me know someone responded to a comment of mine. And by mistake I reported Rumble's email as spam. How can I correct that, or let someone from Spancop know this so Rumble doesn't get in trouble for nothing?
  8. Thank you for replying. If only I knew how to set things up as you did... but I now only get a few spams a day. So in my case maybe not worth doing the work you did.
  9. I used the same Scanner.PCRisk again which uses Quttera, and now it reports "Clean." (Wonder if someone had it cleaned or reported it as a false positive.) https://scanner.pcrisk.com/detailed_report/spamcop.net#details The Malwarebytes Browser Guard is free, and I rather be safe than sorry. If it would flag a false positive sometimes among the great majority of reall detections, so be it. Then one can always double check and report it to them if it was indeed a false positive.. On the AV-Comparatives site they report 7 false positives were found testing Malwarebytes Premium (a full protection suit now, no longer just a scanner) which is not much, and some other well known brands had more (and some had less) "False Alarm Test" https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/false-alarm-test-march-2022/ Also Malwarebytes Browser Guard does no longer give that Trojan warning for SpanCop.net
  10. This is not a feature request, but a request to see these scan results of SpamCop.net. Scroll down to see the result here: https://scanner.pcrisk.com/detailed_report/www.spamcop.net#details I did that scan because I first got a warning from Malwarebytes Browser Guard when accessing the SpamCop website. Supposedly a Trojan was detected by the latter.
  11. After enjoying reporting about a 100 spam a day for over a month many years ago, and after that for years not getting spam any longer, or only sporadically, lately I began getting about a dozen again every day. Still no biggie. But some years ago my ISP started to bounce back the confirmation emails and/or my report emails, and they told me they can't fix it. I was using Mailwasher Free for reporting. Now someone on the Mailwasher/Firetrust forum suggested I might be able to use my Gmail account with SMTP enabled to report spam again to SpamCop. Anyone here know how that works, and if it is possible, how to set it up?
  12. Thank you for your replies. I called my ISP -Tele2- again not too long ago, as the issue was not fixed, and after the help desk man looked into it he contacted one of the engineers. It turns out the spam filter my ISP is using sees the word "spam" in "spamcop" and flags it as spam. The engineer could not fix that I was told. Luckily I rarely get spam since quite some time, so it's no biggie for me at all. Years ago I got a 100 a day, all fake FedEx, PayPal, Master Card etc. emails telling me there was one or another issue and asking asking me to click on the link to fill out my data on the respective sites to have it fixed. (Which I never did.) That's when I found SpamCop and began reporting all of the spam mails. After six weeks they had diminished to nothing. If I still were getting lots of spam, and also others had the issue of their ISP's spam filter blocking their reporting to SpamCop, I would suggest the latter no longer use the word "spam" in their reporting and asking for confirmation email addresses.
  13. PS: A very lovely sounding young lady from Tele2.nl just checked it all out and found the bounce notification. She had never heard of SpamCop but was very interested when I told her about it, and she was glad there are people fighting spam. She said she was going to find out more about it as she had a very full spam box herself. We laughed when she agreed Tele2.nl must have read "spam" in "spamcop" and therefore blocked it... 😃 She wanted to know the address SpamCop sends it's e-mails to me with, and luckily I could find it in the trash, the last one from October when things still worked fine. Now she forwards it to the technicians who will set that e-mail address again as legit, and hopefully permanently. I had to give permission for them to get into my e-mail account, and give them an alternative e-mail address where they will let me know -in max 5 days- that it is fixed, with a link to reset my password.
  14. Thank you. In the past when this happened they told me they themselves could not do anything about it, as another company handled that. But it was resolved as I insisted it could be and should.
  15. Hello, lately I don't receive confirmation request emails from SpamCop anymore. On my account page is says: "Bounce error Your email address, (xxx) has returned a bounce: Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) Reason: 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'Sorry, we do not accept connections from=" I'm not aware of having made any changes. Also, when I tried to report this issue here: https://www.spamcop.net/ces/contact.shtml after tapping on the Submit button that page disappeared and thia page appeared http://mail.spamcop.net/contact4.php
