Spam Notice!
Jump to Comments
Upon opening my email I discovered that I have 83 bounced emails in my junkmail folder for engendertruth at hotmail account. The odd thing about this is simply that I never sent any emails from this account, let alone 83 of them!!
If anyone has been spammed with the Engendertruth address, please be aware that it is NOT me. I have unfortunately (it would appear) become a victim of what is known as a Joe Job whereby some Spammy Arse Spammer is masqarading around using my email address. Grrr! 
Let it be known that Engendertruth is NOT a spammer.
Let it also be known that I detest spammers. Mainly because they keep telling me I have a small penis!

Allforart has suffered the same indignity, Emm. Welcome to the club. These pathetic excuses for marketing genius make as much as $4M/month from this sort of fraud. Keep the emails and especially the headers. When caught these guys can be sued in some cases for up to $1M per email, not including reputation damage, court costs, etc.
Chasing the spammers however is not a solution. The real solution to spam is chasing the people who pay the spammers to promote their goods and services. Sue the companies who pay spammers and spam will dry up as their revenue will be cut off their revenue. Of course this solution, which I’ve suggested to the California State Attorney General’s Office has not been implemented. Why not? Governments want to tax businesses. Spam is part of the economy now. So true solutions won’t be implemented. Rather we’ll all be forced to pay for more software to counteract, yadda-yadda….etc.
Do make sure you let the people who think you spammed them, receive an email from you to let them know you did not spam them but have had your email used fraudulently. Let Hotmail’s abuse dept. know this too. Important you take action to defend the charge/accusation and let them know you’ll cooperate to help them if necessary.
Feel free to contact me by other means if you would like to discuss this further.
