Have you read the FAQ either here which has expanded on the original here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duanec Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 In general, spamcop would send a report to the administrator of the IP address sending the message. I apologize, I should have been a lettle more clear in my original post. I have reported the original spam to Spamcop, but I thought that there would be additional places to forward the spam (similar to how you can report prescription spam to the FDA.)

The two that pop out at me immediately are: Marjolein's Ban spam page - includes reporting addresses spam Links - spam Reporting Addresses Beyond that I don't have anything specific. Is there even such a thing as the British Lottery that you could complain to? None of the early Google hits on the phrase British Lottery looked official enough to trust.

Jank1887 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 From this website (http://w3.rz-berlin.mpg.de/~wm/wm-lotto.html#COPS) I was able to find the following reporting address for British Lotto scams: fraud.alert<at>met.police.uk. the page lists other reporting addresses for other countries as well.

Jeff G. Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 spam Reporting Addresses doesn't have anything specific for British Lottery spam scams, but you might want to email fraud.alert[at]met.police.uk per Metropolitan Police Fraud Alert - card and/or Contact Interpol.
