Someone is using my email address to spam - GoFuckYourself.com

Some fucking ass hat out there is using my email address to spam people and now I'm getting a fuck ton of bounced emails and undeliverable emails to my box. This is fucking ridiculous, is there anything I can do about it, besides killing my address?

Nothing you can really do, so I'm told anyway. It has happened to me a few times.

ditto....couple times in the past two weeks.

just set your mail client to delete anything with returned.. undeliverable.. blocked.. automated...delivery status notification... etc.. in the subject.

Happened to me too. I'd suggest contacting the police and charging the IP owner with Identity Theft and wire fraud. It is a long shot. Since your email will now be in the spam filters, ask for damages as well.

Wish it was that simple. I've had the same problem before.

I hope you're joking.

Mine also goes thru that a ton... HATE it.. Mailbox fills with bounced shit. Sucks since I do like to see when my legit emails get bounced but cannot since they are buried in a ton of crap ones.

Not kidding. Here is a link to a recent guilty conviction:

The government tracking down, investigating, and indicting someone on federal charges is not even remotely related to Joe Blow calling the local police department and reporting that his email address is being spammed.

Try it and let me know how it goes.
