This happens to be my specialty. There are some legal recourses that you can take, from the CAN-SPAM act http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/ecommerce/bus61.shtm http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/ecommerce/bus61.sht... it is illegal for companies to not honor opt-out requests. Unfortunately it is not illegal to sell your email address( hasn't been tried in a court of law ). Though if it is true that SpamHero is using deceptive practices they may be held accountable for their practices.
If you really want to take legal action, first prove that the email originated from SpamHero. I would suggest you generate a disposable email address from my spam tracking service http://whyspam.me http://whyspam.me and give it to SpamHero only, if you receive emails at that address from discokenny.com or any other mass mailer, you will know in-fact that it originated from SpamHero.
If you do this, I'll be happy to supply the you with your server-log entries or other documents you may need in a court of law.
Once you've got the info you would need to contact a lawyer because i'm not one, and you need someone who can give you official legal advice.
- techiferous 16y agoThank you! So far I've contacted their domain registrar (moniker.com) and reported them to their service provider (abuse@cogentco.com). Hopefully that will work. I'm going to try your fake email suggestion now.
- thinkbohemian 16y agoGood luck, if you have any questions about the service (first watch the videos ^_^ ) let me know. You can also send me a direct message from the link on my contact page if you need any more information from me, though i'll only give you the logs data for your account, and you will need to prove your ownership of the account.
