Spam report website? - GoFuckYourself.com

joefoxxx · 01-16-2002, 03:05 PM

Is there a website where ya can report Spam without having to find out what sponsor is involved and all?
At this moment I get round 10+ ICQ Spams a day and I wanna nail these suckers.. but finding the sponsors all the time is a lot of work ;-(

note the icq #s and send an email to [email protected]

Yeah but that way this webmaster just opens a new icqnumber. And I think the best way to stop these guys is to inform their sponsors :-)

There is a way to completely eliminate ICQ spam on PC's. Download the latest version of ICQ 2000b. DB Converter will convert your list,but be sure to back up the old version anyway.

Click ICQ > Security & Privacy > Ignore tab. Check the top "Accept messages only from users on my contact list" as well as pager messages, email express, and multi recipient messages from users not on contact list.

They made some improvements that's worth the update for lack of aggrevation with spams.

This is my first "registered" visit to GFY. Pleasure to meet you guys, having a great time!

I know about that feature in icq. But that way not even webmasters who're not in my list can't send me a message. I'm looking for a way to report these cheating bastards. But as far as I can understand from the reactions on this post it seems noone gives a shit about these spamming jerks ;-(

Isn't there a site/company that specializes in ICQ Spam. The site supposedly spams people thru ICQ. I saw it once (I think) & forgot the URL. That should be someone who should go down! I get tons everyday!!!!

You're SOL dude, you gotta find the sponsor.. There's no easy automated way to just "figure out" who the sponsor is through a reporting tool like spamcop..

Go the extra mile, it's worth it. ;>

It sure does - if I can make it financially non-viable for every spammer that crosses my path, you can fucking bet it will affect EVERYONES bottom line, not just mine.. And it's hardly a lot of time. Usually takes me about 5-10 minutes to figure out who the sponsor is - spammers suck, they tend to go with free trials only..

Edit:

These guys are just like content stealing motherfuckers - every sale they get is a sale an honest webmaster could have got.
