Ask HN: What can i do to stop an identified spammer?
So i live in Albania where there are some companies that spam for money. Basically people are uneducated and pay these guys to send spam to albanian email addresses including mine.
One company is this : http://ederstudio.al/marketing/email/ (google translate: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=sq&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Federstudio.al%2Fmarketing%2Femail%2F&act=url)
He actually advertises on his site that the email will not hit he spam folder, security bullshit and other stuff. The customers can actually login on his control panel and send the mail themselves.
He sends the emails from <random_string>@emailcenter.al . One email that was sent to me: http://pastebin.com/fCzVPJZJ
The local police won't do anything. Contacting the guy directly won't help, he knows it's spam and gets payed.
I actually have spoken to this guy on the phone because a client of mine hosts his website there.
Any idea? Thanks
- JoachimSchipper 14y agoSpam-fighters have been dealing with those issues for years. A good first approach is to fill out http://www.spamcop.net/anonsignup.shtml http://www.spamcop.net/anonsignup.shtml, which well send a standard mail to the people selling him bandwidth etc. You can also report him to various blocking lists, which will make sending mail harder for him. Etc. It is desirable to be anonymous while doing the above - spammers are generally not nice people, and tend to get rather angry when you cut off their livelihood.
