Case Notes

This asshole previously spammed trying to sell a software product called "Floodgate" that collects email addresses from all over the place so that companies can spam you. Now he is trying to sell some other product that does the same thing. Apparently interramp.com and its ISP psi.net are some of the worst in the business when it comes to spamming sites. read this for more information. I received the following reply from abuse@mindspring.com:

********** Biggest Marketing Secret Revealed ******************

********** 2 Million E-Mail Addresses $49.95 *****************

  Don't be fooled by these people telling you that you need
Floodgate to send bulk mail-  it's a lie. Floodgate only extracts the
addresses.  That can be VERY time consuming. They make it sound so
easy, and when in reality,  it's not. I'll put it this way- to even
get one million e-mail addresses with Floodgate, it would take you at
least 6 months. 
  You may ask yourself, "How can he get so many addresses?"
I have been marketing on the internet for one year now. I trade
e-mail databases with many people, plus I have several other
sources which I obtain them from. Have you been looking for the
best way to promote your business, product or service, and get 
results FAST? I have the answer- BULK E-Mailing! 
  There are other SO-CALLED companies that will claim to give
you 2 or 5 MILLION ADDRESSES- and they lie! They will only give 
you 2 to 4 HUNDERED THOUSAND!! When you receive them, they're
all scrambled up and half of the addresses aren't even addresses. They
have dates, they are put in many different formats, and extra
characters are added on the end of the addresses, so they won't even
be sent. You will get 3/4 of the mail back as UNDELIVERABLE, which
means the computer can't even send them!!!! Don't be RIPPED OFF by
these people. I have compiled a list of 2 MILLION ADDRESSES, and
believe me, there's 2 MILLION addresses, I GUARANTEE it. 
  Also, I have made it as easy as possible for you. I have put them
ALL in a Pegasus Mailing List for you!!! You will also receive a copy
of Pegasus Mail, if you don't have it. Then, all you have to do is
push 3 BUTTONS and they will be sent. This is as easy as it gets! They
have all been tested and they are DELIVERABLE, which means they will
all go through. I am selling the WHOLE 2 MILLION E-Mail database for
only $49.95!!! If you're asking yourself, "Why is he only selling them
for $49.95 when he has a good list, and these OTHER COMPANIES are
selling them for $149.00 to $500.00, and their lists are poorly put
together?" The answer is simply, "I believe in producing high quality
work that should be priced reasonably."  With this E-Mail List, I will
also include a "Step by Step Guide" that will show you everything you
need to know. It's very easy and anybody can do it. So if you got a
computer, use it to make money not cost you money.
  If you have any difficulties, I will personally help you. How is
  that for service? Just imagine e-mailing 2 MILLION people. That's 
like sending 2 MILLION letters at 32 cents PER STAMP!!! Can you
imagine if you only got a 1% response rate? That's still 20,000
ORDERS! All you have to do is take your idea and GO!! Many people have
no idea about the power of the internet. You can make this work to
your advantage and I'll show you how.  Here's how to get the E-Mail
list.

**As a Special Bonus if you order within the next 10 days I will give
you a 175 page, E-Book called, " Your Personal Complete Guide To The
Internet. "  It covers every aspect of the internet and shows you how
to get full use from the internet. It even has a whole chapter on
marketing on-line. If your order is postmarked after the Sept. 18th
1996 the list will be $99.95, so get your order in today.

***I also do bulk mailing if you want to have me send your ad out the
price is $49.95 per 100,000 e-mail addresses.
