Aleksey Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hello ! Firstly I want to thank you for the service that you provide. It is really helpful. I have 1 question for you. About 6 monthes ago I have subscribed myself in order to receive a CD. It wasn't sad that I will receive e-mails after that. Now, the owner of the site where I made my subscribtion have transmited my private information to the organisation which makes a delivery of his spam (I think it is a spam). It is impossible to unsubscribe. I have tried many ways to do it but I still get this spam. I had a conversation whis the person who have transmited my data (his name is Sergey), I have tried to contact with admins of that organisation that sends Sergey's spam to me ("mail.ru"). Sergey says that he can't help me, that he doesn't have the influence to the organisation that sends his spam. I don't know what to do, the unsubscription on "mail.ru" doesn't work also. It asked me to confirm my subscription on their site, I did it because I thaught that it will help me to unsubscribe (it didn't). I have only 1 choise -- to use your service and to spoil their lives, may be one day it will work and they will stop send me thair spam. I want my activity not to be considered like a hooliganism, I did not subscribed for the spam, I don't have a possibility to unsubscribe. Thank you. Aleksey (from Ukraine, sorry for my English ).

agsteele Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi Aleksey! The Email service you are receiving unwanted Email from is well known as being abused by so-called spam Emailers so I don't think you are going to be very successful in getting relief from the problem. You have many options open to you but one of the most effective is to use a SpamCop filtered Email account and use that to trap most of the junk you receive. It works very well for a good number of us who are reading these forums. You might find it helpful to read the FAQ Entries to get a better understanding of the spam problem and how the SpamCop blocklist works so that you can decide whether this is the solution for you. Sadly your problem won't go away - the spammers have spoiled it for everyone. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dra007 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Unfortunately for someone in Ukraine the cost in dollars is prohibitive. They can still use the free service here and read the forums to learn how to combat spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
