I spent at least an hour today sending abuse emails to affiliate programs, and filing FTC complaints against those that did nothing to stop the spamming affiliates on previous complaints.
If anyone gets a non can-spam 2003 compliant email, make sure to report it... Now that they've started to prosecute these idiots hopefully it will lighten up the load on our inboxes.
If you get spam, report it to the affiliate program first... many will terminate affiliates for TOS violations. If they don't, then report the spam to
[email protected] (the FTC actually reviews these and will file criminal charges in applicable cases), their credit card processing companies, and as a last resort Visa USA (we don't need them comming down any harder on this industry, but this shit has to stop... spam gives all of us a bad name).
