i belong to anumber of yahoo groups.
they are all being spammed by the same people.
it _appears_ to be an automated process.
they are all being posted via an AOL IP address.
they are all spamming for a site hosted on the
same network in germany [a network whose abuse
department is run by "dave null" apparently]
it's getting so bad that i am probably going to
change the email address i use for yahoo groups
so i don't have to look at this crap in my main
spambox.. i mean inbox...
spammers are ruining usenet too.
there are groups on usenet that are nothing but spam.
seriously - only spam because everybody got sick of it.
so who do they think is reading them?
the rules of spammers/spamming:
Rule #0: Spam is theft.
Rule #1: Spammers lie.
Rule #2: If a spammer seems to be telling the truth, see Rule #1.
Rule #3: Spammers are stupid.
Rule #4: The natural course of a spamming business is to go bankrupt.
these are not advertising sent by yahoo.
they are cretinous criminals polluting our groups.
when i see spam in one group i know it's only a matter
of hours before i see the exact same spam in another group.
btw: stop apologizing for your "bad english" okay?
you re doing just fine so do not mention it again!
