For the rest of US that have had enough of this person and a few other trolls, lets all get together and send them 10 emails each. Lets fill up their mail boxes with 100's of replies. Simple thing to do really. It's also a felony in the United States, and suggesting it is a conspiracy to commit a felony. Think it will work?? If it does, you may discover from the friendly officer at your door that the consequences of illegal activity on the Internet extend well beyond cyberspace. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Yes, I'd like to report someone who sent me 10 email messages...." click "Hello, hello?" In an age where identity theft is no longer even considered a high priority unless the total exceeds $100K I seriously doubt that you could get them to even talk to you about something like this, let alone send someone out to investigate it!

That isn't the way it is done, although you're correct in that one usually proceeds by out-of-band communication methods, which get a lot more attention than e-mails to abuse aliases. In an age where identity theft is no longer even considered a high priority unless the total exceeds $100K I seriously doubt that you could get them to even talk to you about something like this, let alone send someone out to investigate it! Well, I've been there and done that, and I wasn't the one who was surprised. As I've said, if you're doing something illegal, the mere fact that you do it on the Internet won't necessarily protect you. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
