It's been a while since I've posted - been busy but have a funny story to share. A while back, some company started spamming one of my domains. Several companies, actually. Some dirty spammer sold an address list using addresses from my domain and presenting them as doctor's email addresses. So these "legit" companies start sending me a lot of medical spam. This one company ignored my emails to cease and desist a while back, so I called and yelled at them on their voicemail. The next day I get an email from a hobo account with the VP of this "company's" IT department as the username asking me to identify myself. I ignore it and the spam stops until YESTERDAY.
I start getting spam from this same "company" again. I go to their website and click on the "contact us form" and type in a KNOCK IT OFF message. I hit submit and all I get is this red message near the submit button - no data clears, no redirect. Red message says "your request has been submitted". I hit the submit button a couple of dozen times.
I get an email from the same dude above, using his "company" email. He tells me that I need to submit each email separately as a request to stop, and that I've been acting unprofessionally. He then accuses me of a denial of service attack for sending him a couple of dozen requests.
I go back to his web form and address him by name. I tell him that I don't have to act professionally - he's spamming my house. That he has a dodgy web form and that 2 dozen messages to get someone's attention does not constitute a DOS Attack. I tell him to fix the problem, stop buying addresses from spammers and to grow up.
Dude has the nerve to write back and basically say "OK... but technically we're not spamming you". I can't believe this bozo - it was hilarious.
If you are reading this, Mr. White Trash Big Shot IT VP From (_|_) As*ville North Carolina, be glad I am not using your real name or company name. I will next time - 3 strikes you're out.
ROTFLMAO
