ebee Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I wish to see, (When and if, an email address is listed in the content, of a conman email.), reporting being sent to the ISP that allowed it to receive notice too. Just today: I received a conman email that had a Gmail address inside of the print of the letter, and did the report say one word to Gmail; NO! That is my suggestion.

lisati Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Having seen gmail addreses in some of the spam I receive, I like the idea. Having said that, I anticipate a challenge to whoever works on making the necessary changes at Spamcop's end - I have yet to discover a reliable method of automatically validating email addresses without the risk annoying or inconveniencing innocent bystanders. I suspect that many of the cautions against autoresponders and challenge/response systems apply to email addresses found in the email body too.

petzl Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 SpamCop stopped reporting reply addresses because most were bogus. However if you think a reply address is a spammers real one you can forward them that email to a AI BOT which starts replying and answering replies of spammers (wastes their time) me [AT ] rescam [ DOT] org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
