All very well if the spammer is in the UK, but what if they're an
American working through a Chinese ISP utilising a bunch of zombie
computers? No chance.

As it happens, I'm getting regular spam from some fucking London
nightclub (talk about misdirected advertising...).

I've just found a new hobby for the New Year.

Well, doh - of course

It's at least somewhere to start

 

The only thing I'm getting at the moment that's really annoying me is
bounce messages because someone has forged my domain name on spam
they're sending. As the bounces don't have the original email or
headers with them, I can't trace it.

 

I already got £100 out of one company who emailed me using an email address
that I only use for recruitment agencies. The "CEO" promised to take me off
their address list and apologised. Then sent another a month later. Next
complaint and they sent me a £100 voucher for anything on their website. So
that was 'Tea for Two at the Savoy' for my parents. They were amazed at my
generous Christmas present.

 

Hmm, shame those cunts at the chartered institute of marketing don't
spam my personal email address rather than my work one.

 

No, no, no...

Take a print of your e-mail, and spome "ukrm friends" then show up
demanding the VIP attention they've promised you..

 

"A spokesman for the Information Commissioner's Office, the watchdog who
oversees the Data Protection Act, said it was the first case of its kind
he had heard of.

He said: "What I can say is that I haven't heard of anyone doing so and
we haven't taken a case under that legislation." "

So why the **** haven't they, the useless bunch of toothless wankers.

Because they're a useless bunch of toothless wankers.

HTH.

I wonder what the Information Commissioner's Office costs to run each
year?

Maybe because their are more important uses for the public purse and the
courts' time?

So you're saying that the law is a useless piece of legislation, and a
waste of the resources of the public purse?

Well, this particular piece of legislation doesn't strike me as the most
important thing on the agenda at the moment.

 

Good points and thank heavens for that.

I'd have added in the use of "their" whilst you were about it if I were
you.

 

They don't give out that information.

About on a par with the hunting ban. Now *there's* a piece of
legislation what's fallen flat on its face. And what do we hear after
the Boxing Day turn-outs? Some copper wanting legislation to allow Plod
to enter private land to see that laws are not being broken....

One thin slice of liberty at a time.....

Don't start me on the hunting ban [1].

I thought the policeman asking for the right to enter private land
without permission was absolutely disgusting. As if they haven't got
enough to do that they're not doing.

[1] I don't hunt or follow a hunt and killing animals isn't my thing. I
accept that fox hunting is pretty unsavory *but* it wouldn't have been
at the top of my agenda to **** about with and I thought it was a
shocking use of parliamentary time. I also thought it was inconsistent
when there was no action on shooting or fishing.

 

People eat grouse and fish, but not foxes?

People pay for permission to shoot birds and to fish on other peoples
property rather than using dogs and horses to chase a fox wherever it
wants to exercise it's right to roam.
